gconftool-2 using user's umask - bug in gconf?

Hi All,

 By now you all are probably getting tired of hearing me
talking about this :)

 But I need to know if this is a bug in my configuration script,
or if this is a problem with gconf.

 So - is gconftool-2 supposed to create directories in 
/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults with the same umask as the user
who's executing it?

 Isn't this going to require that all installation scripts that
use gconftool-2 to force a certain umask? IMHO, this does not seem
right...

 Any feedback appreciated.

Thanks
