I am running Ubuntu, metacity and gnome. The top part of my ~/.bashrc file is: # ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells. # see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files (in the package bash-doc) # for examples umask 0007 .... I also, in an abundance of caution & stupidity, put it in my ~/.bash_profile file. Top part: # ~/.bash_profile: executed by bash(1) for login shells. # see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files for examples. # the files are located in the bash-doc package. umask 0007 ... But the real secret for getting programs started by the GUI (gnome in my case) was to create the file, ~/.gnomerc. Here is mine. # ~/.gnomerc Sourced from /etc/X11/Xsession.d/55gnome-session_gnomerc umask 0007 Reboot, start OOo from menu, the files created by it have permissions -rw-rw---- and directories created by it have permissions drwxrwx---. Of course you should change the umask to meet your particular situation. This may not work for you. If you are running a different distribution, window manager and/or desktop GUI. If you will share your specifics, perhaps someone can help.
