And I who thought it was so elegant to fix this bug with a few
characters of code. ;)

I suppose we could do a solution with zenity/kdialog, but before
spending time on such a proposal (involving gettext etc.), I would like
to know for sure that "sh -n" is an acceptable testing method. (Please
note that other ideas were rejected previously in this bug report.)

@Alec: I think Matthieu meant that if we ignore an erroneous file and
let the session start, the user may not be aware that there is an error,
and hence has no reason to go reading .xsession-errors. I think he has a
point.
