After upgrading XFree86-libs-3.3.3.1-52.i386.rpm all aplications launched in GNOME window-system have a umask of 000 instead of the default value e.g. 022. The other window-systems KDE or AnotherLevel are not affected! The problem is the following shared library /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6.3. If you use the shared library of XFree86-libs-3.3.3.1-49.i386.rpm the umask has his correct value.
DrMike, can you reproduce this?
fixed in XFree86-3.3.3.1-53, available in the next Raw Hide release....
