Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xsplash

Hi

There's no /var/log/gdm/xsplash.log.

xsplash gets an EACCES when trying to create it.  This might be due to
the weird sticky bit on the /var/log/gdm dir which is root:gdm and
ug+rwxt.

I think xsplash should take care to not clobber the log file
systematically (perhaps only clobber for the first call
"/usr/bin/xsplash --gdm-session --daemon") and should also log pids on
each line since there are two processes.

Attaching strace of xsplash startup

Thanks
