This is a good general way to see what files have been changed recently:


[summer at Wagtail ~]$ ls -torah | tail

[summer at Wagtail ~]$

Mine's in x.log because I used startx from a text console and put it 
there. You will have a different filename, but the same command will 
show you what it is.

On another system here, it's in a file inc ~.vnc because I am using a 
VNCsession.
