Hi,
Trivial way to reproduce the bug:
Xorg -logfile /tmp/mylog -config /etc/xpra/xorg.conf -displayfd 2
The server then moans:
Failed to rename log file "/tmp/mylog" to "/tmp/mylog": No such file or
directory
And the log file is created, but immediately renamed to "/tmp/mylog.old"
This is caused by the changes to the log file handling introduced by
this commit:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=edcb6426f20c3be5dd5f50b76a686754aef2f64e
And below is the trivial fix for it.

Don't try to add the pidstring to the log filename if it doesn't contain
the "%s" placeholder for it.
