configuration file permissions

[Bernhard Walle]

Hello,

following issue: the configuration (XML) files created by xfce have
executable permissions:

[~/.xfce4/settings] $ ll
insgesamt 52k
-rwx------    1 bwalle   users         417 12. Jul 13:07 backdrop.xml
-rwx------    1 bwalle   users         610 17. Jul 09:40 gtk.xml
-rwx------    1 bwalle   users         278  4. Jul 10:57 keyboard.xml
-rw-r--r--    1 bwalle   users           8  1. Jul 20:35 ls-iconbox.txt
-rwx------    1 bwalle   users         920  1. Jul 20:36 ls-iconbox.xml
-rwx------    1 bwalle   users         337 17. Jul 17:10 margins.xml
-rwx------    1 bwalle   users         340 17. Jul 09:40 mouse.xml
-rwx------    1 bwalle   users         424 14. Jul 21:47 session.xml
-rwx------    1 bwalle   users         453 15. Jul 09:37 taskbar.xml
-rwx------    1 bwalle   users         232 17. Jul 17:10 workspaces.xml
-rw-r--r--    1 bwalle   users         135 17. Jul 17:10 xfce-settings.xml
-rwx------    1 bwalle   users        1.0k 28. Jun 13:49 xffm.xml
-rwx------    1 bwalle   users        1.2k  4. Jul 13:52 xfwm4.xml

Why? The problem is that some file managers (including xffm) try to
execute this files instead of opening them in a text editor.

I think the permissions should be 666 & umask, i.e. 644 in a normal
environment with umask 0022.

Regards,
Bernhard
