closing the request, that's not really something we should hardcode in
gsd, we should rather known useful patterns to the ubuntu-bug (apport)
regexp filters so they get added to all bugs where they could be useful

Title:
Ask for .xsession-errors in gsd-keyboard-xkb.c function
activation_error
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon
As mentioned in bug #328980 comment #5, it would be a good idea to
have users include their ~/.xsession-errors when reporting errors with
their keybord konfiguration. This is because errors from xkbcomp end
up in that file. These would be particularly useful in diagnosing and
resolving bugs like bug #67188.
I therefore would ask you to add that file or its tail to the list of
information requested by the activation_error function in
plugins/keyboard/gsd-keyboard-xkb.c. Requesting the result of "tail
-n50 ~/.xsession-errors" has the benefit of avoiding excessively large
posts. It also reuses the wording of the other requests, making it
simple to adjust most translations even if you don't speak the
language. Requesting only command output, as opposed to command output
and file contents, should be easier for users as well.
Unfortunately I don't think there is a reliable word to grep for, so
we'll have to request more information unless we want users to look
for appropriate error messages themselves.
