David,
you could try:
script               (1)  - make typescript of terminal session
after you login, type:
script ~/filename.error
then start Xtart, and eventually exit your windowmanager of choice.
back at command line,  type CTRL-D or exit to stop the script
program. then  less ~/filename.error
$ man script 
for more ..... 

I tested it and it worked for me.
HTH 
   

David, 
actually it doesn't seem to work .. 
I had to add an & to run it in the background 
and upon checking the file it contained only the login info for my
user.

Sorry
RickS

Try:
S man strace
I've recently been introduced to it and it tells me heaps.
