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

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.
