(Get the code!)
Here's a suggestion (keeping in mind that I'm not a developer, programmer or anything alike - I'm just an "advanced user"): What about a cron job that would run a script a regular interval (let's say each hour), and delete any oldest content of the .xsession-errors file that exceeds any reasonable amount of files pace (out of nowhere, I would say 10MB - that's already a pretty heavy log!).
Again, my reasoning is that I prefer to have a functional and healthy system with a partial error-log file than a complete error-log file that I won't be able to access because it has rendered the system unusable...
Of course, there may some more elegant solution... Anyway, thanks for helping.
