Yes, it is created with every start of X-session (roughly speaking, when you log in through kdm) and it is full of unimportant stuff. However, when the problem happens, it is usefull to take a look there, because there are often quite interesting information -- like that you don't have /etc/X11/Xsessions. Basically, /var/log/Xorg.*.log is interesting until the kdm starts, and ~/.xsession-errors since then. The difference is that starting of X itself is done under root's ownership (and thus logging goes to the system-wide place -- /var/log), whereas sessions are run under user's ownership and thus all logs go into $HOME/ .

The last 2 lines of /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsession (on my system) read # invoke global X session script . /etc/X11/Xsession -> it looks like kdm want some extra stuff done in Xsession, but reuses the global Xsession stuff -> even if kdm didn't include the above 2 lines you shouldn't remove /etc/X11/Xession, as that file would still be used when you start X through another means then kdm (e.g. by running startx from the command line) -- Cheers, cobaco (aka Bart Cornelis) 1.

Dear Curt, The absence of Xsession was logged in ~$USER/.xsession-errors - for me at least. Bugs.debian.org/x11-common got a reference to that as well as a workaround.

Re: kdm/xorg7 Xsession issue?
It happened to me last night. There are several references in Debian-User about "sometimes unstable really is unstable", but nothing about a fix. I'm using Win2K, but at least Firefox, to read the lists until someone says it's fixed. I did notice in Xorg.log something new about "session security", but as you say no other errors.

It was caused by newly introduced xfree86-common package, which removed Xsession file. The quickiest solution is to rename /etc/X11/Xsession.xfree86 to /etc/X11/Xsession.

kdm/xorg7 Xsession issue?
Hi, today, logins to kdm failed... after typing in user/pw and hitting login, the login screen reappeared (for all users). No hints in /var/log. After doing all of the well known work-arounds I found the problem: /etc/kd3/kdm/Xsession sources /etc/X11/Xsession in it's last line. This failed cause I removed /etc/X11/Xsession a long time ago. I did this because I somewhere found a hint/message to do so, because /etc/X11/Xsession has been replaced by /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsession. So something changed with xorg7 regarding Xsession?
