Title:
  eog (Eye of Gnome) ignores umask settings

Status in Eye of GNOME:
  Unknown
Status in “eog” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “eog” package in Fedora:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: eog

  This does not seem to be a generic Gnome or gnome-vfs bug (some
  similar bug reports exist for earlier Ubuntu releases), I have only
  been able to reproduce it in eog.

  Expected Behavior:
  Rotating an image and saving it should not change / break group permissions on the file.  Expect that eog will respect system umask settings in the same way that other Gnome applications do.

  What Happens:
  Rotating an image and then clicking "Save" changes the permission so only the owner has read/write, all group permissions are removed.  eog seems to be hard-coded to a specific umask rather than respecting the system configuration.  This breaks group access to image files that have been rotated by other members of a group.

  To reproduce:
  1. Change system umask from default (probably 022) to 002 (I am not exactly sure of minimum needed to do this, I added "umask 002" to a dozen files before realizing that the bug was only in eog, not a generic Gnome issue.
  2.  Open an image in eog.  Rotate the image.  Save the image.
  3.  Observe that the group permissions on the file are now gone (e.g. only owner has rw).

  
  More detailed instructions:

  1.  Change system umask settings, reboot [NOTE: what is official
  minimum method for setting umask for Gnome apps?].

  Confirm current system umask settings and the umask used by Gnome apps
  $ umask
  0002

  $ touch picture.txt

  $ nautilus
  Create an empty file using File--> Create Document--> Empty File
  [I called the new file picture.empty]

  May need to chmod some group permissions before performing the test.  In this case, we use an existing image file named picture.jpg
  $ chmod g+rw picture.jpg
  $ chmod o+r picture.jpg

  $ ls -al picture*
  -rw-rw-r-- 1 dan 5000       0 2011-06-02 20:37 picture.empty
  -rw-rw-r-- 1 dan 5000 1395326 2011-06-02 20:15 picture.jpg
  -rw-rw-r-- 1 dan 5000       0 2011-06-02 20:31 picture.txt

  Notice that group has rw permission on the newly created files (touch
  and Nautilus respect umask setting).

  2.  Open the image file in Eye of Gnome.
  $ eog picture.jpg
  Rotate the image, Save the image.  Close eog.

  3. The file permissions have changed, group permissions are gone, and
  the permission do not match those of newly created files from other
  Gnome apps such as Nautilus.

  $ ls -al picture*
  -rw-rw-r-- 1 dan 5000       0 2011-06-02 20:37 picture.empty
  -rw------- 1 dan 5000 1395718 2011-06-02 20:43 picture.jpg
  -rw-rw-r-- 1 dan 5000       0 2011-06-02 20:31 picture.txt
