This bug was fixed in the package xorg - 1:7.7+19ubuntu7
---------------
xorg (1:7.7+19ubuntu7) bionic; urgency=medium
[ Simon Quigley ]
* 60x11-common_xdg_path: If $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is nonempty, don't discard the
contents.
[ Didier Roche ]
* 60x11-common_xdg_path:
- protect against multiple additions of the same paths to
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS and XDG_DATA_DIRS, resulting to duplication on
consecutive logout/logins due to older session hanging in and env
being reused.
Some consequences is that electron application crashes (LP: #1764355)
- remove readdition of defaults if XDG_CONFIG_DIRS isn't empty to respect
user's selection (same logic than wayland session).

Title:
Visual Studio Code, Slack and other electrons apps crash due to
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS keeps getting expanded every login
Status in gnome-session package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Ubuntu Version: 18.04
gnome-session-common Version: 3.28.1-0ubuntu1
What's expected to happen: $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is the same on every login
What happens instead: $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS gets expanded on every login
It seems that $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS gets expanded by two entries on every
login.
On first login it looks like this:
/etc/xdg/xdg-ubuntu:/etc/xdg/xdg-ubuntu:/etc/xdg
On second login it gets expanded by the same two entries in front:
/etc/xdg/xdg-ubuntu:/etc/xdg/xdg-ubuntu:/etc/xdg/xdg-ubuntu:/etc/xdg
/xdg-ubuntu:/etc/xdg
On third login, two more entries get added:
/etc/xdg/xdg-ubuntu:/etc/xdg/xdg-ubuntu:/etc/xdg/xdg-ubuntu:/etc/xdg
/xdg-ubuntu:/etc/xdg/xdg-ubuntu:/etc/xdg/xdg-ubuntu:/etc/xdg
At this point Visual Studio Code, which lead me to this, no longer
starts and just throw a Segmentation fault/Core Dump.
I suspect this behaviour is triggered by
/etc/profile.d/xdg_dirs_desktop_session.sh adding more stuff to
$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS on every login.
