[K12OSN] Error User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored?

[David Whitmer]

I found some information in my notes that might help you with this.

Try editing /etc/gdm/custom.conf and then add the following line to the
"[security]"
section:

    RelaxPermissions=1

Then restart GDM by either rebooting or by running "gdm-restart" (which will
kick people off).

I hope this helps.
