Bug Description
Debian Testing
Version: 1.10.1-1
uname -a: Linux omega1 3.14-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.14.4-1 (2014-05-13) x86_64 GNU/Linux
When X starts up, it outputs to Xorg.0.log - however when started by lightdm, stderr remains pointed at '/var/log/
Please make stderr point to Xorg.0.log once Xorg.0.log comes into use. This wasted time for me while investigating a serious X failure, as I had enabled verbose logging in DRM yet saw almost no change in Xorg.0.log output - took me a while to guess that stderr was pointed to the wrong place (confirmed that the messages were being outputted there).
Thanks
