Description Brandon Clark 2020-09-16 20:17:51 UTC 
Description of problem:
A fix to resolve behaviour where umask was changing permissions for dconf files was implemented in RHEL 7 and offered to upstream GNOME for inclusion. This fix was not implemented into upstream and, as such, was not included in RHEL 8. I've attached the RHEL 7 BZ and upstream issues to the listing.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dconf-0.28.0-3.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:
Consistently.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set umask of file in /etc/dconf/db/distro.d/ to 0027
2. Reload GDM


Actual results:
dconf files are affected.

Expected results:
dconf files not affected by umask.
