I forget what all > scripts are tried anymore, I've got my startup stuff in ~/.xsession. I tried what you suggested, and in a few other files in /etc/X11 and /etc/gdm, but nothing worked. My custom umask was ignored each and every time. Guess I'll have to wait for a new Gnome in Fedora before this gets fixed. BTW, that bug history is a joke. It's been open for two years, and typical of Gnome devs, they were discussing if the user really cares to have such a feature. Holy shit. Anyway, it's annoying as hell, so hopefully it's fixed soon. I now have to figure out a work around. Regards, Ranbir -- Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu Linux 2.6.20-1.2925.fc6 i686 GNU/Linux 16:56:20 up 6 days, 7:52, 3 users, load average: 1.31, 1.04, 0.87
