Users $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored

[Cliff Hall]

A newbie, I decided to share my Home directory on my home network to
facilitate file transfers.  When I restarted my computer the next day I got
this message:

Users $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.

Holy cow!  I quickly right-clicked on my home directory and turned off
sharing, but the message reappears whenever I reboot the system.  Have I
angered the mighty Ubuntu?  What did I do wrong and how can I correct it?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Cliff
