To protect the user from his own umask? Of course, most distributions 
use 022 as umask by default which isn't really a good idea. 077 should 
be default since then we wouldn't have to add such bad hacks to KMail 
(or any other app). So what do we do? Deny the existence of the umask? 
Or should we add an option to define the default file permissions 
(defaulting to 600) to KDE and adjust the umask accordingly in startkde 
(or whereever)?

Regards,
Ingo
