Firstly I recognize that this is on information (II) however I don't believe it should be written to my syslog ever time I open or close certain applications. Per suggestions on the Ubuntu-Users list I first installed a new VGA cable, no change. Since my Dell Optiplex 780 has a DisplayPort output connector and my ACER monitor has a DVI input port. I bought and installed a DisplayPort->DVI cable. Here is the ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.1.log as written after I installed the cable and booted the system last Friday and output to it through today https://pastebin.com/FjfYcUS1 I don't know if there's any information there that would give a clue as to what's the cause or not. I believe the major issue in troubleshooting this is that it will not happen each time I start or stop Evo, XFE, Firefox or others that seems to cause it.
