Bug Description
gnome-shell and Xwayland sometimes leave $HOME/core files (should be /var/crash files). This issue was first mentioned in bug 1746653. But then I noticed my machine doing it too...
This is despite:
$ grep . /proc/sys/
/proc/sys/
/proc/sys/
/proc/sys/
So really there are two problems:
1. ~/core files are created but no /var/crash/ files
2. Because they all have the same name (core_uses_pid == 0), when gnome-shell crashes as a result of an Xwayland crash, you can only get the core from one of them at most.
