I personally doubt gnome-session is responsible for this, but that the
logs are forwarded to syslog on its behalf.

Could you please see if you can find the 1st line in the logs, it could
have more information about which program has generated this. Also
could you have a look in the journal (use journalctl command, by
default it only contains the logs from the last boot).

Cheers,
