(Get the code!)
Thanks for your reply. I am sorry, I tried very hard to be clear, but obviously failed.
.profile is run at login, and sets various environment variables. These are all correctly set in gnome-terminal and xterm.
As I said previously, neither gnome-terminal nor xterm is configured to start a login shell. Yet in xterm both the environment variables (which are only set in .profile) and umask are correctly set, whereas in gnome-terminal only the environment variables are set correctly, and the umask has been changed to a different value.
