Because you can't configure where the logfile is opened. The log is not
written to stdout or stderr but to a file opened via fopen("/tmp/XWin.log")

I have some test binaries for download where the log is written to stderr 
but if some errors occur there the other people from the mailinglist won't
be able to help you.
