There is a way to start a program that redirects the error messages to a
text file. I' ve used it several times to debug X, but I always have to look
it up. Couldn't it be put into a shell script called, for example, errlog,
and then given the program name as the argument and have the text file
written to /tmp as programnane.errlog ?

A small utility such as this would go a long way toward aiding newbies in
diagnosing problems.
