Wow, fortunately my X logs for Debian are limited to

spinymouse@precise:~$ ls /media/avlinux/var/log/X*
/media/avlinux/var/log/Xorg.0.log  /media/avlinux/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old

But on Ubuntu I get
spinymouse@precise:~$ ls .goutputstream-*
.goutputstream-LX33FW

each time I log out there's a new useless file called .goutputstream-*.

If you aren't able to find the reason why, add a script to delete this
crap, or manually delete it, as I do.

Is there any information in those log files, that really refers to a
bug?

If you shouldn't know, please post one of your X log files.

All the recent ones terminate like this

But it all seems to be fine otherwise

Now I've looked more closely the numbering isn't contiguous. Xorg.398.log exists, then the next one is Xorg.511.org - but then they continue as a series all the way up to Xorg.544.log
