I still needing to upgrade....

Star Office installs a KDE action that executes
/--soffice_install_dir--/soffice

Since the file "soffice" is actually a bash shell scripts, and
it is run as the user, this runs appropriate ".bash*" files and
then soffice inherits the umask (either default or set in the
".bash*" files).

A quick "umask 077" in the soffice script before it calls the
executable, and as if by magic new files are -rw-------

What did they do with Open Office, start the executable straight
from KDE?
