In my RH 7.2, the X error logging mechanism is implemented through xdm (gdm, kdm). From /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/Xsession: # redirect errors to a file in user's home directory if we can for errfile in "$HOME/.xsession-errors" "${TMPDIR-/tmp}/xses-$USER" "/tmp/xses-$USER" do if ( cp /dev/null "$errfile" 2> /dev/null ) then chmod 600 "$errfile" exec > "$errfile" 2>&1 break fi done ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
