Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gconf2
Ubuntu 9.10
gconf2 2.28.0-0ubuntu2
update-gconf-defaults relies on users umask when creating new files.
I think that the tool should know that the files must be readable by all users
to set their policy.
I encountered this problem using cfengine that executes update-gconf-defaults
with umask 700.
