gadolinio proposed the following answer:
I had that same problem. I think it happens if you make a copy of the file ".dmrc" inside your user folder.
Open root's terminal (applications-->system tools-->root's terminal).
Type this:
chmod 700 /home/YOUR_USER_NAME                     (press ENTER)
chmod -R 700 /home/YOUR_USER_NAME                 (press ENTER)
chmod 644 /home/YOUR_USER_NAME/.dmrc           (press ENTER)

Close the terminal, close the session, and enter again; the problem
should be solved.

Note the spaces in the commands (identified here with a "*"):
chmod*700*/home/YOUR_USER_NAME
chmod*-R*700*/home/YOUR_USER_NAME
chmod*644*/home/YOUR_USER_NAME/.dmrc

That's it...
