[Bug 1168701] [NEW] .xsession-errors always reports "Unity is not supported by your hardware. Enabling software rendering instead (slow)." when logging in (with nvidia or nouveau drivers

 

Public bug reported:

Alaways happens on a log in, never on a fresh boot where it says fully supported. Probably a no nothing 'mis-report' in .xession.errors as doesn't *appear* to affect performance.
