Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
Hi,
I'd like to have a ~/.xsession-errors FIFO which an svlogd(8) (from the
runit package) process reads from. This has the advantage of providing
timestamped, automatically rotated logs.
While I can modify the /etc/X11/Xsession script to leave my fifo alone,
gdm itself seems to replace it with a plain file no matter what I do.
Maybe gdm could be patched to only create/truncate the .xsession-errors
file if it doesn't exist or is a plain file? Surely, users who create a fifo
there
can be assumed to know what they are doing (and thus to know where to
look if gdm blocks on trying to write to the fifo).
