The file <tt>.xsession-errors</tt> in your home directory contains anything written to Standard Error by GUI-based programs launched from a desktop environment. If such a program crashes or fails to start, it can be useful to look at the last few lines in this file to see if any messages shed light on the problem: |

Note this only applies to GUI programs ''launched from a desktop environment'' (e.g. from desktop menus or icons). GUI-based programs launched from a terminal session will normally write their errors back to that terminal session, unless you redirect them. |
