Could someone provide any info as to how these messages are being written to ~/.xsession-errors by programs that I have not even executed yet - programs like vlc and others. Some are comming from gnome components, and I have posed the question to the gnome mailing list. Thanks for any info. The file .xsession-errors.gz is attached.
