Bug Description
Hello at first I wanted to add this bug to existing one: #25910 gdm doesn't take care of pam_umask settings but in my case I don;t use pam_umask.
What I need is to let users create files/folders with extended permissions - different than 022 which I think is again hardcoded in gnome. I tried to change umask in ~/.profile and ~/.gnomerc as well as /etc/X11/
This is huge problem for me as most of volumes are mounted via NFS to share amongst many users. But when user creates file/folder all I can see is : 755 for folders which is not acceptable.
Can you confirm this bug or I;m missing something?
My Ubuntu is Hardy 8.04 with all updates.
Regards,
Marcin

I've simply forgotten to add that such problem only occurs when using nautilus/ gnome-related- app. umask is respected when running touch/mkdir/etc from command line.
