Comment 43 for bug 1685754

Christian, thanks for the clarification.

So, where is the bug?

I think it is clear there *is* a bug: I am setting the umask in my .profile, which is loaded into the session, and it's a reasonable expectation that it be respected by all processes started in that session.

As you observe, gnome-terminal-server is started in different ways on different systems; I don't think it's reasonable to expect the user to understand all of these, let alone duplicate the umask settings so that their session will work with dbus/systemd/whatever.

Presumably this problem can affect other processes, not just gnome-terminal-server.
