Thanks for the clarification. Output is;

[bill at localhost ~]$  tail --lines=20 ~/.xsession-errors
X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
  Major opcode:  20
  Minor opcode:  0
  Resource id:  0x2c00007
X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
  Major opcode:  19

[bill at localhost ~]$
