Not wanted by who?

I have noticed this to be true on occasion, but rarely use any DE other than
KDE, and cannot recall the last time it did not get created.

I wasn't aware any DEs had direct impact on Xorg.0.log content. It's a log
from the XOrg server, not any DE. ???

OTOH, what happens in the server affects what happens in the DE. *Not* wanted
doesn't make sense if diagnostics from the server are of possible use.
