I recall trying this fairly recently under KDE (Ubuntu Precise), and it
did not preserve the symlink. So it seems this needs to be fixed in kdm
as well.

Alex,
this would happen if ~/.xsession-errors is not a regular file, i. e.
symlink to a nonexisting file, or a pipe or something. So in your case
/dev/null is not S_ISREG, so it would fall back to creating a new file.

I am noticing something strange with this patch.
I see that .xsession-errors -> /dev/null is indeed preserved correctly.
However, I also see that a new file named ~/.xsession-errors.XX6U63VV
has also appeared, and that seems to be the new file that X is writing
to. Is this expected?
Thanks.

Same here, tested gdm 2.30.2.is.2.30.0-0ubuntu5.2 from lucid proposed,
and it preserve .xsession-errors being a symlink across reboot and
session logout. Looks good to me!

I can confirm that the version of gdm in lucid-proposed functions as
expected.
Specifically I tested that changing .xsession-errors to a symlink both
does not get overwritten and that the symlink destination gets created
if it does not exist.
