Late to the party, but:

$ ls -ld /home/gary
$ ls -l /home/gary/.Xauthority

post the results

$ rm /home/gary/.Xauthority

try again.

Chances are a stale .Xauthority file exists that's owned by the UID of 
the gary account on the old server.  Might want to recursively chown the 
contents of the home dir if that's the case:

# chown -R gary /home/gary
