In Stretch, Gnome ignores umask setting in ~/.profile
Due to a bug in Gnome 3.22 (used in Stretch), I've had to revert back to
using Jessie.
In Stretch (with Gnome 3.22), Gnome ignores the umask setting found in
~/.profile. The umask used by gnome results in all files created with
rw-r--r--, which means everything is readable by everyone.
This means I cannot run the OS with Gnome as this situation is
unacceptable.
Does anybody know a work around for this? Or is this bug likely to be
fixed? My alternatives would seem to be to use a different DE or
continue to use Jessie.
