Alex, this would happen if ~/.xsession-errors is not a regular file, i. e. symlink to a nonexisting file, or a pipe or something. So in your case /dev/null is not S_ISREG, so it would fall back to creating a new file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu

I am noticing something strange with this patch. I see that .xsession-errors - /dev/null is indeed preserved correctly. However, I also see that a new file named ~/.xsession-errors.XX6U63VV has also appeared, and that seems to be the new file that X is writing to. Is this expected? Thanks. --
