Note that external converters will do whatever _they_ want anyway. The
correct solution for security-aware people certainly is to set a proper
umask and for paranoid people to use \use_tempdir false (or \tempdir_path
~/.my_secret_place if that happens to work).
Since I can't see any advantage if files created by LyX have permissions
other that 600 I'd support a change to 600 within LyX. But I'd refer to
it only as "a cosmetic change", not as "closing a security hole".
