Implement ~/.xsession-errors?

I'm wondering whether it's feasible for the Cygwin X-server to redirect 
stderr to ~/.xsession-errors for programs started under the server, as 
is done on some Linux systems.  This would be useful for two reasons. 
First, some programs emit warnings that can be ignored, and it would be 
nice if users could avoid seeing those every time they start the 
program.  Second, and more importantly, standard error is often lost, 
for instance for programs started by ~/.startxwinrc.  It could be useful 
for package maintainers to be able to ask users to send the contents of 
~/.xsession-errors.

emacs, GSettings, and gtk3

I am now able to build emacs-X11 with GSettings support, using either 
gtk2 or gtk3; the problems discussed in 
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2012-04/msg00048.html have disappeared.

Unfortunately, the resulting build produces some annoying Gtk warnings. 
  I'm trying to decide whether the benefits of GSettings and gtk3 
outweigh the annoyances.  I'd like the opinions of emacs users and GNOME 
experts on this.  Here are the details:

1. If emacs is built using gtk3 and the window geometry is specified on 
the command line or in ~/.Xdefaults, the following warning appears in 
the terminal from which emacs was started:

Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_window_parse_geometry() called on a window with no 
visible children; the window should be set up before 
gtk_window_parse_geometry() is called.

The warning can safely be ignored but is annoying.  See

   http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=11177

I don't know any good workaround, except perhaps to wrap emacs in a 
script, or use an alias, that redirects stderr to a file.  (This would 
be similar to the Linux behavior, where I think stderr for programs 
started under X11 is typically redirected to ~/.xsession-errors.)

2. If emacs is built with GSettings support and is started without a 
D-Bus daemon running, the following warning is issued:

GLib-WARNING **: In call to g_spawn_sync(), exit status of a child

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: nedit-5.5-5

The following package has been updated for the Cygwin distribution:

*** nedit-5.5-5

NEdit is a multi-purpose text editor for the X Window System, which
combines a standard, easy to use, graphical user interface with the
thorough functionality and stability required by users who edit text
eight hours a day. It provides intensive support for development in a
wide variety of languages, text processors, and other tools, but at the
same time can be used productively by just about anyone who needs to
edit text.

This release has been rebuilt for Motif 2.3.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] New package: motif; Obsoleted: lesstif

The following packages have been added to the Cygwin distribution:

*** motif-2.3.4-1 (replaces: lesstif)
*** libXm4-2.3.4-1
*** libXm-devel-2.3.4-1

Motif is a freely available source code distribution for the Motif user
interface component toolkit. Motif is built on top of the standard X
Toolkit (Xt) and X11 libraries.

At long last, the ("Open")Motif toolkit has been open-sourced (LGPL2.1),
finally allowing its inclusion in the Cygwin distribution.  In doing so,
it replaces lesstif as the provider of mwm(1) and the Motif widget
library (libXm).  Motif also provides numerous improvements over the
lesstif implementation, including support for UTF-8, TrueType fonts, and
JPEG and PNG images.

Cygwin/X X Server 1.12.3 Middle Click Problem

I am running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 on a Dell Latitude XT2 with an external Dell 3 button (scroll wheel)
optical mouse.  I have Cygwin package "cygwin-1.7.16-1" installed with the packages in the user guide
suggested for Xwin capability and SSH.  My intention for use is to SSH to a Ubuntu boxes and mostly run
Xemacs to program.  My main problem is not being able to get the middle click to be recognized in the
Xwindows, including xterm local, as a paste.

I have tried a different combination of software, namely Xming and Putty, but with no greater success.  I
also tried an older version of Cygwin from 2010, again to no success.  The mouse middle button is
recognized by the windows operating system and is in the "auto scroll" mode under the mouse settings. 
The scroll functionality is recognized by the Xwindow (xemacs and xterm).  But the paste does not work
with the middle click.  I tried a different mouse, a Logitec optical mouse, and was able to get the Xwindow
to recognize a 5th mouse button (unassigned and threw an error in xemacs) when the middle click was set to
"zoom" instead of autoscroll, but alas no paste.  So, I have scoured as much google as I can follow and
found more than my fair share of suggestions on how to emulate the 3rd button with a double click (left and
right) for track pads and other two button appliances, but nothing much to help me diagnose why the middle
button does paste with my three button mouse.

What further information or tests may I try to figure out what is at the source of this problem?  I have
attached my cygcheck.out and my XWin.log files as well as the user guide I used to choose the packages (only
the ones suggested in the setup).  I assume that it is something to do with the Windows 7 operating system,
as I have not had the problem in the past on other laptops running Cygwin and external usb mice, nor with
other desktops.  I have reached the limits of my computing knowledge and would like to inquire as to the
community's knowledge of how the program treats the chain of events from middle click to xemacs paste, a
chain I am not intimately familiar.

Regards,

TL

P.S.  The PDF was not liked in the email so the packages are below (in addition to the default):
