I think for distributions this is ok. But for developers .xsession-errors 
sometimes gets pretty big (just look at your own :) ). Which should not be a 
problem if there is a simple way to stop qt forwarding those messages to 
journalctl and get stuff back to .xsession-errors. Or there is a good 
documented alternative way using journalctl features reaching similar results.
