No, Andre is right. There is no ~/.xsession-errors on Fedora 27 (which
the OP is using), nor is there in any modern incarnations of
Wayland/Gnome. Fedora hasn't used .xsession-errors for sometime.

The log output of the display server is sent to the systemd journal.
Find out which unit your logs go to by searching for the unit of type
'scope' and then view it with journalctl. 

    $ systemctl list-units -t scope
    UNIT             LOAD   ACTIVE SUB     DESCRIPTION               
    ...
    session-2.scope  loaded active running Session 2 of user pete    
    ...

    $ journalctl -b -u session-2.scope   

And THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO RANT ABOUT SYSTEMD.  It is what it is.
