I simply (like someone else mentioned on the list) truncate the file
periodically (actually, once every minute) using a crontab with a task like
this:
* * * * * echo "Cleared on $(date) by $USER cron" >
/home/<username>/.xsession-errors
Back in some day, the .xsession-errors was growing by, iirc, multiple messages
every second. (This might have been in Debian Wheezy, or a Debian before
Wheezy, or even in a version of Mandrake / Mandriva.)
