A bit off-topic question. In what wiki page you would expect to find
suggestions to inspect ~/.xsession-errors file and journalctl output?
I pasted ".xsession-errors" into the "Search:" field at the upper right
corner of any Debian wiki page and clicked the "Text" button.

Sorry, I was not clear. I had in mind some moment before you learned
that errors may appear in ~/.xsession-errors, so you could not use it as
a keyword in search queries. It is not uncommon on this mailing list
when users, asking for help, have no idea where error messages may be
found. I am curious if they will have a chance to discover debugging
recipes if they are documented.
The only helpful match is
https://wiki.debian.org/JigdoOnLive?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=.xsession-errors&fullsearch=Text
I assume it is
https://wiki.debian.org/TroubleShooting
and certainly it lacks details how to obtain error messages. Perhaps
links to similar pages from other distributions may become an improvement.
