It seems that I wrote the attached file (55umask) and put it
in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ and that it solved my problem in the end.

# In the script that called this, set -e has been set. Errors in any
# command will abort the entire script and X won't start. By putting
# this part in a subshell, any errors will abort the subshell - which
# we want, in case numlockx fails.

# The 'true' at the end ensures that the entire script will never end
# with an error code, even if there was an error.
