Hi list,
about a week ago I have rebooted into the (at that point) newest snapshot and since then I can no longer use xinit to launch i3 on Tumbleweed from a tty as an ordinary user. `startx` fails with the following error message:

gnome/gdm is definitely not creating this file, because it is not installed on my system, as is no other display manager.
Ok. So seems $XDG_DATA_HOME is set to ~/.local/share then. Not sure what's our default here. I haven't set this using xfce ... # man Xorg [...] -logfile filename Use the file called filename as the Xorg server log file. The default log file when running as root is /var/log/Xorg.n.log and for non root it is $XDG_DATA_HOME/xorg/Xorg.n.log where n is the display number of the Xorg server.
