wrong GID owner breaks execution of X

[Robert Millan]

Hello!

I noticed that when creating a file as root
(both uid=0 and gid=0), the default GID owner
won't be 0 but 1000. 

This breaks execution of programs that check
GID of a specific file as a security feature,
like the X server does.

Went into hurd_file_name_lookup but don't
understand it well and couldn't find the code
that creates a file when it doesn't exist.

It'd be nice if someone more clued than me
had a look at that.

thanks
