Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: wine
This is now a known bug we are many to have on a regular basis.
Basically installing wine and apps through wine alters /home/username
and .dmrc file rights leaving the user with an error message after
logging:
"User's $Home/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default
session and language from being saved. File should be owned by user and
have 644 permissions. User's $Home directory must be owned by user and
not writable by other users"
Obviously the solution is to chmod 644 the .dmrc file BUT also the
/home/username rights which have a conflicting +w right for group and
others.
As a significant amount of users are having this issue, although it is a
rather armless issues, i think it would help digging on this trying to
understand why wine have the bad habit of doing this. Maybe this should
be forwarded to wine development team.
