You can use libpam-umask to accomplish this.

The libpam-umask package was written by Tollef Fog Heen following the 
discussion of this issue on the debian-x mailinglist. Search for
87zn2kietn.fsf@vawad.err.no .

Perhaps libpam-umask could be mentioned in the xsession documentation? 
That would make sure users would be able to find the package.


Best regards, thanks,

Wouter
