Not as far as I know.

.xsession-errors is not written by the X server. It writes to
/var/log/kdm.log. .xsession-errors is used by all the X clients.

Trunkation if it is to large at login might help in some settings, but
not with programs producing a lot of such messages during one login.
But perhaps we should try first with a 1 MB size limit and trunkate
during login if it is above that, and see if it solve most of the
problems.
