In checking the bug that you say this bug is a dup of I find it is not a
dup at all. The problem occurred after an upgrade of Ubuntu which
included the Clamav update and then shutdown and booting.  The root
folder had no permissions or ownership changes.  I received a notice
with an ok button that the file .dmrc was not writable and should be
owned by the user hence I couldn't boot into normal gnome desktop.  I
was able to boot using the failsafe gnome desktop option when I
discovered that the users home directory had been taken over ownership
at the owner level by clamav... group remained the username.  That is
the folder /home/username was taken over by clamav and thus prevented
normal booting to the full gnome desktop.  It prevented booting because
the file .dmrc was in the users home directory and the group although it
remained the username didn't have write permissions.

This is not at all the same bug.
