Followup-For: Bug #287876
hello,
[forget Version, bug is in Sarge as well]
yessss, I looked into this bug after I was puzzled by 0 MB avail on /home
yet I knew I don't have there much stuff.
Hence I tried both of these patch/fix:

echo "$PROGNAME: X session started for $LOGNAME at $(date)"

}
#-----------------------------------------------
The Xsession patch suffice as long as people open/close their X-session
regularly (eg in an office case), while the logrotate file deals with
always-on machine/X-session (like mine ;) ) - note though it's user's home
dir wired in.
I'm keeping both.
WFM so far.
