Ahah!,
For openSUSE it is started in: /usr/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession
I don't have this script. I have "/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession" instead.
# # Redirect errors to the standard user log files. # for errfile in "${HOME}/.xsession-errors" \ "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/xerr-${USER}-${DISPLAY}" do ...
So if however you start your desktop invokes /usr/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession, the redirect of errors to ${HOME}/.xsession-errors occurs.
I see the script, but I don't really understand what it does, where are the errors actually written to. But I am using sddm. I suspect they go to syslog. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)
