Some investigation:
issue a command 'ps -ef'
You'll see a process '/bin/sh /usr/bin/startkde' that is a child of X diplay 
-:0 (I mean - I see this. Probably you will seee this too. It depends on your 
system.)
It suggests that it may be one of the first KDE processes. It's a script, so 
you can modify it.
See what it's doing. I guess that adding 'umask' just before this script 
starts 'ksplash' would be a safe thing.
I haven't tested it - do it on your own risk. :-)

Can you write it in a way that the umask is set different for each user? Need 
help?
