I remember someone trying to do the same thing in GNOME several years ago, and nobody could find a solution for GNOME, either. With a traditional window manager, it's as simple as can be. You just set umask in your ~/.xsession file (before exec-ing your WM) and you're done. I don't know why the creators of Desktop Environments have decided to discard all common sense.
