does not affect gedit instances which are launched via xterm or alt+F2,
so I assume it's due to the systemd --user or the gnome-terminal user
session.

Title:
gnome-terminal unduly forces umask=0022

Status in GNOME Terminal:

Status in Nautilus:

Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
In order to set the default umask of my users to 027 or 007, I
followed the instructions provided in 'man pam_umask' :
In the 'gecos' field of '/etc/passwd', I have inserted 'umask=027' or
'umask=007' (for myself).
Then, MOST graphical applications systematically run with the correct
umask.
In particular, when I press Alt-F2, run 'xterm sh' and type 'umask',
it systematically displays 0007.
But when I press Alt-F2, run 'gnome-terminal -e sh' and type 'umask',
it systematically displays 0022.
That is BAD, and is a security issue.
Workaround : Inside the newly created '/etc/profile.d/umask.sh', and in each
'~/.bashrc', add following content :
UMASK="$(grep -o "^$USER:.*,umask=0[0-7]*" /etc/passwd)"
if [ "$UMASK" ]; then
umask "${UMASK#$USER:*,umask=}"
fi
In fact, 'gnome-terminal' MUST NOT force umask=022, but keep umask unchanged.
Thank you in advance for a quick correction.
