Bug#773752: gdm3: GDM3 pollutes system logs with user session output under systemd

Hi,

I completely second this. It is far too much like that, even on a not-so-heavy
desktop use. For example I'm looking from time to time to the logs through a
conky display. Before that 5 lines were almost enough to see what's happening
in my system. Now I can't see anything relevant to the system itself, only some
random GTK app complaining about a missing icon, a GLib-object that was not
cleanly opened/destroyed/used etc.
Directing messages from session to a user file (in user's home) would avoid
this spam, plus move the DoS risk to the home partition, outside the core
system. Including an "anti-filling" mechanism would be even better, but out of
the scope of this bug.

Please make the debug/info/spam messages from user programs out of the system.

Thanks,
