I don't have a "dinrc" on my system. Use "chown <user> <filename>" to 
change the ownership of a file. Read "man chown"

Use this command to get a list of files in your home directory that are 
not owned by you:

find ~ \! -uid `id -u`

Incorrectly-owned files may affect almost any application--including the 
deskbar.
