There seems to be no .gnomerc file anywhere. Display Manager is gdm3.

Unless there is some stuff there that executes a script from users home directory. I am still looking for a documented or supported way to make GUI applications use the umask I want. I have tested Libreoffice. When started from terminal window it honors the umask that is shown with umask -S in there. But started from the GUI menu it uses some other umask. Tapio Lehtonen
