I would like to set my default permissions for X windows apps.
I've set my umask for bash, which works great when I'm in a
terminal, but it doesn't seem to have any effect on X apps
(such as the Mozilla downloader, for example, or when I create
new files with Code Crusader)
Files are created rw-------, which is pretty restrictive when
working on the server (something like rw-rw---- would be more
appropriate - it's what I have the umask set to in bash)
Is there a way to globally set the umask for all X apps? It's
very easy to forget and the other members of my team keep chewing
me out. I tried calling the umask command from my .xinitrc file,
but it doesn't seem to have any effect.

-Bill
