[PATCH] Remove any old logfile before trying to write to it

[Jon TURNEY]

If we are not backing up logfiles, remove the old logfile before
trying to write a new logfile, as otherwise the operation may fail
if the previous logfile was created by a different user.

This looks like a generic problem, but will only be seen with DDX
which don't use the logfile backup mechanism (unlike the Xfree86 DDX)
and can be run as different non-root users.
