Bug Description
Ubuntu 18.04(.1) release notes should mention that Xorg logs may now go to ~/.local/share/xorg under some or all (which?) circumstances.
Does it matter whether you use KMS / UMS (and how to know what you are using)?
Does X.org vs Wayland matter?
Desktop managers (gdm, lightdm, sddm, others? exceptions?) also seem to log somewhere under $HOME in some conditions - please clarify conditions and log file locations.
This would be quite relevant for people migrating / upgrading from 16.04, since they may not have been in touch with Wayland and with this new way of managing / launching / running these graphics related services (maybe discuss the architectural changes very shortly, too).
Thnak you.

I've added a small note on the release notes to mention the xorg case. If someone can answer the other questions I will add that information as well if appropriate.
