I've seen a lot of answers, but seem to have missed someone that
mentioned redirecting the standard error stream, that usually contains
the errors. I would suggest you send the messages to a file before
printing (because there can be many of them). Supposing you start X
using startx, that would be
in bash:
startx > my_errors 2>&1
in tcsh:
startx >& my_errors
Hope this helps,
