Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdm
When programs are running under a gdm-managed session, it redirects their standard output and standard error to ${HOME}
It would be nice if there was a way at least to redirect error messages to a volatile location even after this happens, such as a local socket; or perhaps more usefully, the other way around: make /dev/gdm-errors (or whatever) contain the current log, and copy it to .xsession-errors as before, up to the cut-off point.
