I don't know. I think one gdm handles the possibly many X servers and
arranges :{0,1,...}.log files. It maybe something related to booting
rotates them before gdm gets started. I'm not au fait with the new way
of starting things up in recent releases so don't know the path from
init(8) to gdm. :-) Anyone else?
Cheers,
Ralph.
