Everything is new.

I chmod the fetchmailrc and then each of the other fetchmail files. The 
fetchmail file through after a reboot was set back to the settings I had 
just changed it from but on the next reboot - it was fine.

So that is now working.

After some reading and following some links I found some answers to the 
.dmrc problem and got that fixed.

Still having some problems with the graphics though.
