I wasn't aware of that one - interesting.
Perhaps too obvious to mention is /var/log/Xorg0.log, though that's for X server messages rather than session-related errors.
My current system doesn't have this file; it has probably all been migrated to the Systemd journal. The more I use systemd (including the journal) the more comfortable I am with it. I know it has ts detractors on this list, so let's agree to differ.
No, I have systemd and XFCE writes it when I log out (or is it when it is shut down via the session gui?). I never did nail exactly where and why it was generated, I found it out by trawling the entrails of failed sessions, deleting each newly time stamped item until I found the culprit.
