Yes, it really did. I'm actually using systemd even before the migration.

Didn't know that even user logs (not only system services logs) would
be managed by it too though.

hrm, the only problem is that ps doesn't show gnome-session. I can see
gnome-shell, but it's PID doesn't have anything on the log.

But well, typying "journalctl" directly provided me the full log and I
can grep or search inside less for it. But probably the problem is
because although most of the system was migrated to 3.12 (some
packages I got from experimental), some are still on 3.8 (debian is in
the middle of the transition, as you can see here:
https://www.0d.be/debian/debian-gnome-3.12-status.html)

Anyway, thank you so much for the hint! I would never figured this
alone, and I couldn't find anything on google =P
