SOLVED: Your $HOME/.dmrc file was ignored

[lanrun]

Hi

After a fresh install of Elyssa, and changing login screen from the default one to a GNOME one, I got a message after entering my username and password to log in.
The message said that my $HOME/.dmrc file was ignored.

I found another thread here on this and tried the following:

1. Edited (sudo gedit) the .dmrc file from settings=default to settings=gnome. Reboot and logging in, the same message popped up. So I changed the .dmrc file back again.
2. From a terminal executed the following:
sudo chmod 644 /home/myusername/.dmrc
then rebooted.
The message popped up again when logging in.
3. From a terminal executed the following:
sudo chmod 700 /home/myusername
then reboot.
The message is gone.

So fix for this was:
sudo chmod 644 /home/myusername/.dmrc
sudo chmod 700 /home/myusername

Strange things happen....
Glad it worked but tampering with chmod (not to talk of chown) is always a bit scary
