Where and what do I need to configure so that apps like konqueror and kmail use 002 umask settings?

I'm using debian and found a link to install 'libpam-umask'
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2004/12/msg03382.html
However, it went over my head. I read the README too:
============================================
This is pam_umask, a module for adjusting the umask of processes.
It is written by Tollef Fog Heen <tfheen at err.no>, and you may use this
under the conditions of the GPL version 2, as noted in
<http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html>. I'd appreciate any bug
reports, patches, suggestions etc.
It is based on pam_tmpdir which in turn is based on pam_env which in
turn is based on pam_mail.
To use this module, be sure to add a line like
session optional pam_umask.so umask=002
to the services where you want to set the umask to 002
Note that using "optional" instead of "required" will allow users to
login even if pam_umask fails to parse the umask line. Using
"required" will deny login if an error occurs while setting the umask,
============================================
I have not understood where (which configuration file) to add the line
mentioned above.
I looked at /etc/services and it looks like a totally different type of file.
Can you help me out?
Thanks
Rishi
