You have to remember, however, that what this really means is that it can be
redirected. It goes by default to .xsession-errors, however an app may
redirect, or you may redirect to where ever you want. stderr (standard
error) as an output is more a standard interface than a destination. The app
just sends the error to "stderr" its up to you, the OS, the app, or in this
case X, to define where that is.
I say all that so that if you look in ".xsession-errors" and don't see appA's
errors, that could just mean that appA has redirected to another location,
and you can change that location.
Dotan, I think you know this, but maybe someone watching this thread is
wondering what "stderr" really is. stderr, stdin, stdout, etc, are all like
passthrough windows in a restaurant. I put the food in the window as the
cook, I have no idea what table its going to, and I don't care. the cook is
the app, and the window is "stderr". Another function, the waiter in our
example, takes the output, in this case the food, to the destination.
I remember when I starded in Linux, this took me a bit to get a hold of for
some reason.
