It still seems to be using the the *same* .xsession.errors thru log out/ins & restarts except parts are overwritten
So after a full day that includes numerous log out/ins & restarts the file would be 4 -5000 lines, even after a full restart.

Hard to make sense of because new entries can go anywhere.
As example deleted the file, did a full restart, after login it looked normal, about 50 lines

Then opened, closed firefox which wrote (appended), some lines, started ccsm which always writes. Some of the ccsm lines went to end, some disappeared, the rest in middle.

Then did a log out/in, followed by full restart.
Attached is file after that - notice that some lines only seen when restarting are found at the end so it's not a completely overwritten file
