Bug Description

Same problem that has been going for years (a quick google search comes up with messages in gnome bugzilla in 2006!) : nautilus' umask seems to be hardcoded to 022. I set umask to 002 in /etc/profile and in various home dir .profile files but nautilus ignores it.

This is very annoying as it prevents from having directories shared between several users.
