Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
When programs are running under a gdm-managed session, it redirects
their standard output and standard error to ${HOME}/.xsession-errors of
the user running the session. However, it will stop logging to this
file once it grows too large for gdm's taste, making it basically
impossible to do routine X client troubleshooting after you've kept your
session open for a few days (depending somewhat on how chatty your X
clients are, of course).
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.
