References to ~/.xsession-errors in /etc/gdm/

[Reuben Thomas]

In several scripts shipped as part of gdm, e.g. /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default, and /etc/gdm/Xsession, there are comments referring to logging being done to .xsession-errors. However, these days, logging from gdm goes to .cache/gdm/session.log.

This out-of-date information is also contained in many .po files, and some Debian patches.

Time for a global search-and-replace?

This bug appears to be still present in package gdm3 (see /etc/gdm3/PreSession/Default).

The upstream bug has been migrated to the new GNOME bug-tracker at GitLab: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/issues/157

I tried changing the remote bug watch, but Launchpad won't accept the GitLab URL.
