That's almost certainly incorrect and allows anyone with access to your system to read and write and delete anything in your /home/user directory. Try chmod 700 /home/user then try again.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

No Luck, same error. Do I need to restart the machine or any service after executing chmod 700 /home/user/?

Is there any other way to run GUI (GNOME DESKTOP) without using startx ?
