I realize I'm rather late to the party, but this change causes troubles
with Xspice.
That is, Xorg, on startup, closes stdout.
Since the g_log_default_handler writes to stdout for DEBUG and INFO
messages, those messages never show up anywhere.
The attached patch 'fixes' it. I'm a bit hesitant to pursue this
approach; I do not know if using stdout will have a negative side effect
on the Xorg server.
Anyone else have insight? I'll more formally submit this if I don't
hear anything back.
Cheers,
Jeremy
