Could ulimit and UL_SETFSIZE be used as a workaround?

Since .xsession-errors is written to by the X server 
(I guess), this might make the X server unhappy, or even 
crash, once the set limit is reached.  And that would 
repeat itself pretty quick unless something else wipes
.xsession-errors out.  A size test on .xsession-errors 
during login, perhaps?
