When Xlogin fails due to bad dotfiles it often creates an error message
telling the user he/she has an error in his/her .xsession file.  More
often that not the user does not have a .xsession file, the error in a
file sourced by the global .xsession.  This is very confusing to users.

Could the error messages be improved?
