Maybe a X-KDE specific entry or something. Currently you habe to write wrapper scripts to get that functionality, which is not that great. The only reason I see not to add this is that it would be Unix-specific (or at least posix-specific, I think). Example : add a X-KDE-Umask=002 entry to digikam.desktop so that digikam could use a shared folder for albums.
Yes, I think this is a great idea for applications such as CD rippers, office software, etc - in order that umask 002 (group read/write) policy can be configured at a finer granularity than per-user.
