In order to fill in a proper bug report, I am trying to follow http://i3wm.org/docs/debugging-releas... to enable logging. Now I'm stuck because I do not have an ~/.xsession file. Where is the place where I could specify i3 command line arguments on Ubuntu 12.04?

Not familiar with Ubuntu anymore, but you should have a look at your display manager. It used to be gdm back in the day, but I received word that that might be lightdm nowadays. Good luck :)

thanks, this works: created a new ~/.xinitrc with these contents and restarted: #!/bin/bash exec /usr/bin/i3 -V -d all >~/i3log-$(date +'%F-%k-%M-%S') 2>&1
