Isn't this a gnome-session bug?

In 17.04, setting umask in $HOME/.profile has no effect on the gnome-session. Setting umask at /.profile does work in 16.04 though.

Setting umask in /.bashrc has an effect ONLY in gnome-terminal apps like nano and vi. But users still have no way to set default umask for gnome apps like LibreOffice and gedit.
