Well, now that I'm taking a more careful look, it does ... sort of.From: Lowell Gilbert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Bill Moran" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:> 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 *should* work -- it does for me. [Although, in my case, it's the .xsession file, because I use xdm.]
It seems as though I've been looking at the wrong thing, the problem
appears to be in the Mozilla downloader. When I save an email from
Mozilla, it gets rw-rw-r--, but when I download a file, it gets
rw-------.
I'll check the docs and Bugzilla to see if this is by design or a
known issue ... if not, I'll file a bug report.
Thanks for the pointer, and sorry for the noise.
