Excuse me, but is it fair to rank this bug as "Low" importance? There appears to be no way to change the default umask on account of this bug. Umask setting carries privacy and security considerations depending on environment.
I think it of considerable importance to at least make sure this bug is fixed in time for Ubuntu 17.10. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1701757 Title: 17.04 (Zesty) does not source ~/.profile for umask Status in gnome-session package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have always set umask at ~/.profile and gnome-session would source this. But in Zesty, this isn't happening, and I can find no way to set a umask default of my choosing for the gnome-session. Creating a document using gedit always produces the default (unchangeable) permission represented by umask 022. If I adjust umask at ~/.bashrc, creating a document in nano or vi works to get a different umask. But Ubuntu users should be able to adjust umask for GTK3 apps (like gedit) as well. If there is a new way to set ~/.profile variables, the documentation needs to be updated to reflect this so people know how to set them.
