I can't find any text editor that can open a > 1 GB text file so I have no idea what's causing it to expand that much, clearly the only way to solve the expanding .xsession_errors is to cap it at a certain file size. Having an option to disable it entirely would be nice too.

The file grows to 10 GB (the size of all of my free space on the partition) in less than a day on my system, although it doesn't happen every day.
