It's pretty clear to me that both .xsession-errors and the stderr of GUI
apps are lousy ways of logging debugging messages. Something similar to
syslog for a per-user/per-session would be a very useful thing to have,
in my opinion.

A systematic way of doing that would help with log rotation (thus saving
disk space), and bug reporting (automatically attach logs for the
crashed process), etc.
