Does that work in KDE? As we discovered a few years ago, it doesn't work in GNOME. GNOME specifically starts up its terminal emulators via dbus or something, so they aren't children of the GNOME top-level process, and don't inherit the umask or environment from the session. I'm totally willing to believe that KDE is different, but it's not clear whether "Lists" has tried this and failed, or simply didn't know that it should be done this way. It would be excellent to receive confirmation from a KDE user, either way.
