As stated in the wiki, dtmail doesn't start because it complains about
permissions.  I checked the permissions for dtmail on an old Sun box I have
and I noticed that dtmail was setgid.  I was able to get it to launch on my
Ubuntu machine with a "sudo chmod g+s /usr/dt/bin/dtmail".

In cde/admin/IntegTools/post_install/configRun.src it looks like it is
doing the setgid as one of the last lines with "chmod 2555
$DT_TOP/bin/dtmail".  For whatever reason this isn't in
cde/admin/IntegTools/post_install/linux/configRun.src.   I have attached a
patch to add this to the linux configRun.src.

This is my first time sending a patch in to any project, so I apologize in
advance if its not formatted correctly.
