how to set a global umask

I'd like to share a folder between two users and therefore I'd like to to set the umask to 002 to ensure all users in a certain group have read and write access.
Yet I can't figure out how to set the umask for a user (or all users) so it's recognized by nautilus and the gnome terminal.
I set it in:

/etc/profile
/etc/login.defs
~.bash_profile

but that only seems to effect tty1, tty2 etc. but not nautilus nor the gnome terminal.

any ideas?
