  gnome-shell and Xwayland sometimes leave $HOME/core files (should be
  /var/crash files)

Bug description:
  gnome-shell and Xwayland sometimes leave $HOME/core files (should be
  /var/crash files).

  This is despite:

  $ grep . /proc/sys/kernel/core_*
  /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern:|/usr/share/apport/apport %p %s %c %d %P
  /proc/sys/kernel/core_pipe_limit:0
  /proc/sys/kernel/core_uses_pid:0

  So really there are two problems:

  1. ~/core files are created but no /var/crash/ files
  2. Because they all have the same name (core_uses_pid == 0), when gnome-shell 
crashes as a result of an Xwayland crash, you can only get the core from one of 
them at most.
