Comment 64 for bug 1685754

Thanks, Ray.

I tried setting umask in ~/.bashrc before I settled on my current workaround of disabling gnome-terminal-server, which has the advantage of getting all the other settings from my .profile too. (Running a login shell does not work, because it imposes the extra burden of requiring .profile to be idempotent, which mine is not, nor is it a reasonable expectation.)

Clearly, neither is a good solution because a) it requires user intervention, and b) it only fixes gnome-terminal, not any of the other apps run through servers started outside the scope of the user's .profile.

Since you consider the bug outside the scope of gnome-session, please reassign it to the appropriate component, or file an appropriate upstream bug, and link it to this one.

In the mean time, it would also be good to have a *single* workaround that fixes *all* user settings (not just umask) for *all* apps (not just gnome-terminal). I've yet to see any suggestion that would do this.
