For the record, I'm having this problem, even if my file won't go too
big to crash my system, because I logout everyday.
I'm using 16.04 (LTS) with 'lightdm' and 'awesome' window manager, so no
gdm here.
For me, it seems it's firefox plugin container of adobe's flashplayer

I just stumbled across this bug report, while searching for xsession-
errors. There are currently 3330 bugs involving xsession-errors:

I wonder how its possible to even find any useful information in such an
amount of open bugs. Since Ubuntu
Is it time to close this report (i.e. is journald finally integrated in
Ubuntu, replacing .xsession-error)?
If not, then happy 9th birthday bug report!

I confirm manuellopezibanez's stagement: On my Fedora 21 system,
journald is used and there is no .xsession-errors file, like those I
still found on other Ubuntu machines around the house.
I'm just wondering if there are still legacy apps (or apps not so well
integrated with gdm/kdm/dbus), that m
Amazing, wonder how that slipped my radar...
Anyway, I notice it is included in RHEL/CentOS 7, but not in 6.
Hopefully we won't see any happy 10th birthday comment from mlaverdiere

Someone already did, and it is called journald:
http://0pointer.net/blog/projects/journalctl.html
Recent versions of gdm, kdm and dbus already use the journald by default to
replace .xsession-errors, and thus avoid all these problems. I guess we only
have to wait for Ubuntu to catch up to Fedora
I also stumbled across this thread as well when my .xsession-errors file
filled up my harddrive completely, twice...
Just like to shed some extra light on this.
First of all, I'm running a CentOS installation atm, and am also bitten.
So this is not a distribution or desktop specific error.
There
I'm 2 days late, but anyway, I sincerely wish you an happy 8th birthday
bug report!

Title:
.xsession-errors file grows out of control
I became affected by this bug after passing control to /etc/X11/Xsession
from ~/.xinitrc with Slim as login manager, since I barely log
out/reboot I started looking for a way to fix it and I found a quite
clean way to do it in this post:
http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-edu@lists.debian.org/msg1
Xsession or xinit should install a filter on stdout/stderr that checks
every line in the output, so that if the same line is written
repeatedly, they'd display something like:
<$REPEATED_ERROR_MESSAGE_PRODUCED_BY_WHATEVER_APPLICATION>
$date - Xsession: last message repeated 1.000.000 times

As a matter of fact, having read the above comments, I decided to opt
out of making a copy of the file.
Btw, I am running Ubuntu 12.04.3

I found this bug while searching about this file.
I had 24 GB of free space in /home until suddenly I was warned that I only have
<1GB left!
I am currently making a copy of the file on an external disk (if needed
by you?) and afterwards I'll delete the one in my home.

This still happens on 13.04 !! Can't we limit the size of .xsession-
errors from growing beyond a certain fixed size ?
