Hi,
Since this morning, when I login, GDM gives me an error message on login (it's in french, so I try to translate roughly):
$HOME/.dmrc has been ignored, but it is responsible for saving sessions. It should not be writable for other users, and permissions should be 644.
Now I had a look at this ~/.dmrc, and permissions were rw-------. So I did a chmod 644 on it (rw-r--r--) and logged back out... but the problem still persists. I'm puzzled.
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Niki

I'll answer this myself, as I just found the solution. Suddenly my user's home directory went from 700 to 777. I chmodded it back to 700, and now everything seems alright. I had a power outage this night, and I have no other explanation that my home directory mysteriously changed permissions.
Go figure.

Yes , that's why the error occured , you had a power outage so your filesystem went wrong and your home dir's permission was somehow changed , it was the filesystem problem , if you have power outage next time , i recommend you check your filesystem first in the next boot
