I do not have systemd-homed running (minimal KDE). I have no idea 
concerning default Gnome installation. My expectation that is should 
solve various issues with per-user encrypted directories and may be 
suitable for remote home directories.

I have naively tried

cat ~/.config/systemd/user/service.d/umask.conf
[Service]
UMask=0007

From xterm and konsole:

umask
0007

It seem creating new files from Dolphin respect the setting as well. I 
admit I may miss some use case when it is ignored, but at first glance I 
do not see a clear reason to complain.
