Bug Description

On Kubuntu 18.04 beta 1 release.

My .profile define : UMASK=002
In a terminal, a new file is created as wanted : -rw-rw-r--

Using dolphin, create a new file (txt for example), my file is -rw-r--r--

I also try to change /etc/profile. Dolphin does not use the UMASK.

Please, be helpfull, english is not my native langage and may be the package is not the correct one.
Dolphin informations are :
KDE frameworks 5.44.0
Qt 5.9.4
.xcb

This inability to easily set umask is not specific to Kubuntu or Dolphin.

It happens since at least 17.04 probably related to use of systemd.

Before 17.04 just setting your favorite umask in /etc/login.defs did the job once and for all.
