        The session output is piped through the GDM daemon to the
535
 
        <filename>~/.xsession-errors</filename> file.  The file is overwritten
536
 
        on each login, so logging out and logging back into the same user via
537
 
        GDM will cause any messages from the previous session to be lost.

          The <command>gdm</command> command is really just a script which

2090
 
          Before launching <command>gdm-binary</command>, the gdm wrapper
2091
 
          script will source the <filename>&lt;etc&gt;/profile</filename> file
2092
 
          to set the standard system environment variables.  In order to better
2093
 
          support internationalization, it will also set the LC_MESSAGES
2094
 
          environment variable to LANG if neither LC_MESSAGES or LC_ALL are
