Comment 77 for bug 1685754

@Christian Perse, how can one set the default umask in Ubuntu Gnome 16.04+ or Debian Gnome 9?

Not being able to set a default umask is a huge omission to have plaguing Gnome for well over a year now. It's preventing me from using Gnome in said distros. This bug should be a much higher priority to fix--it makes the distro unusable as way too much work is involved to have to individually change every single file's umask upon creation of a file.

When is this going to be fixed or a way to change the default explained?
