8 years ago That's not a QuickTile issue, but I'll see what I can do to help.
The problem is that, when QuickTile asks python-xlib to open a connection to your X server, python-xlib blows up trying to parse your .Xauthority file. (Found at either $XAUTHORITY or ~/.Xauthority)
Given the line it's dying on, my first question would be to ask whether your hostname (or DISPLAY, if you're remoting) contains non-ASCII characters which might have been encoded in something other than UTF-8.
Failing that, I'd suggest deleting your Xauthority file and then restarting your X server to force the regeneration of a clean one.
