I was googling&  it looks like a gtk version error, but that was a
different distro I think.

I think I have to write some bug reports since there are three  programs
DOSing the .xsession-errors.   680 MByte in 3 days is inacceptable.

However, if I stay as usualy one month and longer  online  my  partition
will crash...

I've been plagued by this one for over a year. The Debian BTS has a bug report for it already, and in comment 35 there I listed similar reports on other bug tracking systems:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=550352#35

The bug seems to be related to Adobe Flash Player, though a few people have reported the bug being triggered by other apps.

A patch was posted which does not fix the underlying problem but provides some relief from the symptoms. I also posted a modified version of that patch, which simply spams .xsession-errors much less frequently.

I'm hoping that the upcoming libgtk version 3 will cure the problem. It may be a while before the problematic programs are built against the new version, however.
