But this will hide real error messages too (such as X related errors). And filtering wrappers have drawbacks and increase the risk of bugs (to distinguish between what is really important to know and what isn't). > Also if you run these from Fvwm using Exec in a binding, menu, > FvwmConsole, etc, they should be redirected to ~/.xsession-errors.
