Re: In Stretch, Gnome ignores umask setting in ~/.profile

[gwmfms6@openmailbox.org]

I do not have .xsessionrc in my home folder. I created it 
(~/.xsessionrc) and added a single line "umask 077". But after relogin, 
I still am getting the wrong permissions on new documents. I still get 
rw-r--r--.

Did I set .xsessionrc up correctly? If so, any other ideas?

In Jessie, setting umask in /.profile worked in gnome.
