Ubuntu bug 1685754 seems specific to gnome-terminal. The bug I reported is for all gnome-session apps. Gnome-terminal can be made to work if a umask is added to .bashrc. This is not the case for other gnome apps like gedit. These bugs may be the same, but I don't know enough to be able to make that call.
I don't know for sure, but is this gnome bug might be related: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780622 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #780622 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780622 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1701757 Title: 17.04 (Zesty) does not source ~/.profile for umask To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1701757/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
