Question #7296 on Ubuntu changed:

Just to clarify the question.
This error occurs when you mess up with the permissions of your prime /home/user, changing it to 777.
The propper way being 700, any changes made to it may crash the recursive directories.
After changing the permisson of /home/user (or ~) to 700, change the permission of .dmrc to 644 and reboot. That´s it, you got it fixed. 
I prefer not to do this as root for safety reasons.
