Package: gnome-session
Version: 3.10.1-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
In the olden days, errors inside an X session would be logged to
~/.xsession-errors. These days, it seems gnome-session logs all errors in all
user programs to the system log. This leads to two problems:
* It is very hard for the user to take a look at things that may have gone wrong
inside their current or previous session.
* It is very hard for the sysadmin to write logcheck rules to filter out the
user messages while keeping messages that may indicate problems with
gnome-session on a system level.
