I'm not sure that's an issue per se. Isn't that normal behavior for DEs/Login
Managers?

It's inconvenient, but I remember other software doing exactly the same thing,
so it's at least "consistent". But maybe I'm wrong. I see ~/.xsession-errors and
~/.xsession-errors.old on my system using LightDM. So you're probably right. But
that's for LightDM, not sure how other LMs or systems without a LM handle this?

Okay, but that will break for systems with misconfigured/unset hostnames or
environments where every system has the same hostname. Additionally, multiple
sessions also get logged to the same file, so merely going for one file per host
name feels half-baked.
