Package: xfce4

Hello,
this is in debian stable (squeeze).

Something in the desktop environment sets the default umask
to an explicit value (0022), instead of leaving it as set according
to the system's default settings.

 (The default umask is set with pam_umask according to http://wiki.debian.org/DebianDesktopHowTo)

Executed in an xfce-terminal or xterm:
~$ umask
0022

while a text console gives a correct:
~$ umask
0002
(as set by pam_umask.so usergroups)
