I think that /etc/login.defs is only (reliably) processed by login. Most
of the options are being replaced by PAM modules, which will work for
any PAM-enabled application.
As for /etc/profile and ~/.profile, these are read by login shells, not
GDM.
You can set your umask with the following methods:
1. system-wide: use the libpam-umask package [0]
2. system-wide: call umask from a script in /etc/X11/Xsession.d
3. system-wide: call umask from /etc/gdm/Xsession
4. user-specific: call umask from ~/.gdmrc [1]
[0] currently doesn't work with GDM; see #314791 and #321620
[1] only processed if logging into GNOME,
see /etc/X11/Xsession.d/55gnome-session_gnomerc
