I think this is a very bad advice. 
You should always be uptodate with security updates since there is plenty of people ready to exploit already corrected security issues.
The people that correct these security issues do this hard work for a reason.
Never let your system stay insecure or say people to do so, unless you want them to be screwed by perverts behind a computer.

Thanks for this indication. I found no such file with :
find / -name 'xsession*'
I will google for gnome error logging.

Hi,

Thanks for the response.
I did not install any gnome extension or tweaking tools for gnome.
So I'm afraid the cause is somewhere else.
Note that if it's a malware, I'm glad you cannot reproduce the bug ;)

Best regards,

I tried this on my computer. I cannot reproduce the error.

Last year I was working a lot with Gnome3 on Fedora24. I was installing
and trying out lots of cool Gnome Shell Extension. After a few days, I
noticed that various Gnome-related things started acting crazy or not
working at all. I deinstalled most of these additional extensions, and
now (on both Fedora and Debian) I stick with the default Gnome Shell
Extensions plus a small number of additional extensions that I can't
live without.

Let me suggest that if you have installed additional Gnome Shell
Extensions on top of the defaults, you remove them and see if the
problem goes away. You will probably need to restart your laptop to be
sure you get a clean load of Gnome.
