Can anyone tell me what is supposed to be rotating (and cleaning Xorg
log files). I've just noticed /var/log contains about 540 versions of
the log

Wow, fortunately my X logs for Debian are limited to

spinymouse@precise:~$ ls /media/avlinux/var/log/X*
/media/avlinux/var/log/Xorg.0.log /media/avlinux/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old
But on Ubuntu I get
spinymouse@precise:~$ ls .goutputstream-*
.goutputstream-LX33FW
each time I log out there's a new useless file called .goutputstream-*.
If you aren't able to find the reason why, add a script to delete this
crap, or manually delete it, as I do.
Is there any information in those log files, that really refers to a
bug?
If you shouldn't know, please post one of your X log files.

GLib here is 2.32.3, not GLib 2.18 and GVfs here is 1.12.1, not GVfs

when I was testing different settings in "xorg.conf" and the X server
crashed. I manually removed the "extra" log files and until now I have
not experienced the problem again.

2012-06-14 18:52:08. IIRC, after an upgrade of some xorg related
package, the display froze and I couldn't do anything. I suspect
that gdm3 tried to restart X, which almost immediately crashed,
and tried again and again, until I rebooted the machine. This
problem has already occurred in the past. I think this was that:
