I've had such reports too (and a thread on the newsgroup currently)
but I still fail to really understand what this is about.
config files ? saving from apps ? creating dirs with kfm/konq ?

On the NG, it seemed that it was about "creating files with kfm",
i.e. using the templates, i.e. a copy is done, i.e. the umask has no
meaning there !

If you don't know, please ask more details the next time
you get such a report.
