[Jaunty] .dmrc file is being ignored

[Creak]

Binary package hint: ubuntu-desktop

Hi!

I've just installed a fresh version of Ubuntu 9.04 on my brand new 1To hard drive.
After some reboots, I got this message at login:
"User’s $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default sessin 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."

I've checked and my home folder was in 777.
What's weird is that I didn't do anyhting about the permissions.
I've just done the upgrades and copy some data into home subfolders.
I've made three logical partitions: /home (sda5), / (sda6) and "swap" (sda7)

I solved my problem by restoring the 700 permissions. But the bug is more how did my home directory got this 777 permission?
If you reproduce exactly what I've done, maybe you'll reproduce the bug.

Thanks!
