Re: ~/.xsession-errors file grows way too big

Hi,
I am astonished to find out that my ~/.xsession-errors grows to a
humongous 640M! My wife's is nearly 400M as well. This is way way too
big.
I took a look, the reason and cure is very simple -- having X to trunk it
each time when started
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=287876)
whereas currently, my ~/.xsession-errors kept logs back to stone age.
However, such reasonable request has been tabled for 6 years now. The DD
gave loads of irrelevant reasons as excuse of not fixing it. Ref:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=276545
Any comment?
My .xsession-errors is now:
hugo@debian:~$ ls -l .xsession-errors
-rw-r--r-- 1 hugo hugo 200043 2010-05-19 12:34 .xsession-errors
and it is filled with:
...
error 173 request 152 minor 8 serial 1023
error 173 request 152 minor 8 serial 1176
error 173 request 152 minor 8 serial 1271
error 173 request 152 minor 8 serial 1323
...
I asked about that several times who knows where and when and nobody
answered, as will be the case here.
It gets that way after I do (in Fvwm)
Key F9 A M Exec /usr/local/bin/xcompmgr -c -f
so that I can make my onscreen monitors grow translucent to see what is
behind them:
Mouse 4 W S Exec /usr/bin/transset-df --min 0.1
--id=$[w.id] --dec 0.2
Mouse 5 W S Exec /usr/bin/transset-df -p --inc 0.1
--id=$[w.id]
But .xsession-errors gets initialized at the beginning of each session,
who knows why...
