Well, if you select "Xsession" in gdm in the "Session" menu, it runs
Xsession... And asks if you want to make this Default...

If you use the gnome login it uses $HOME/.gnome-errors

It does, if you choose Xsession.

As gdm ist the Gnome Login Manager, i think sticking with upstream and
using "Gnome" as default is better.
