Nothing related is in /var/tmp, and I haven't found anything in $HOME. > If you use a .xinitrc you can have the WM output directed where ever > you like otherwise the distro will pick a place. I tried that by redirecting the output of fvwm into a file from within .xinitrc. The file was created buy remained empty. Hm, do I need to redirect fvwms stdderr, too? I think I only redirected stdout. Or does the module create its own output that needs to be redirected when the module is being started?
