Hi, X-session logging is slowly moving to using the journal / has moved to the journal for gnome sessions, so I see .xessions-errors as mostly a legacy thing. As such I do not think it is a good idea to add extra features surrounding .xsession errors. So I'm going to close this as won'tfix, sorry. Regards, Hans |
Description of problem: It would be nice to rotate the .xsession-errors to a .old. It would also be useful to have the hostname in the filename for systems with shared home directories.
