Yes, it is created with every start of X-session (roughly speaking, when you
log in through kdm) and it is full of unimportant stuff. However, when the
problem happens, it is usefull to take a look there, because there are
often quite interesting information -- like that you don't
have /etc/X11/Xsessions. Basically, /var/log/Xorg.*.log is interesting
until the kdm starts, and ~/.xsession-errors since then. The difference is
that starting of X itself is done under root's ownership (and thus logging
goes to the system-wide place -- /var/log), whereas sessions are run under
user's ownership and thus all logs go into $HOME/ .
Does it make sense?

A man once asked Mozart how to write a symphony. Mozart told him
to study at the conservatory for six or eight years, then
apprentice with a composer for four or five more years, then
begin writing a few sonatas, pieces for string quartets, piano
concertos, etc. and in another four or five years he would be
ready to try a full symphony. The man said, "But Mozart, didn't
you write a symphony at age eight?" Mozart replied, "Yes, but
I didn't have to ask how."
