Why not just disable this logging behaviour by default? No one knows
about ~/.cache/upstart until it fills their disk and breaks their system
(if they are savvy enough to find the problem log file).
The handful of power users that might occasionally need this logging
behaviour can work out how to

It might not technically be unity's fault, why is unity logging a
program's output anyway?
Spotify causes a similar issue with the `unity7.log` file, if you have
too many files open it fills the log with this:

This is a largely misleading bug, at least as far as Unity is concerned.
The default set up is to rotate all user-session logs once every hour,
with 7 previous logs saved compressed. With a normally operating
desktop session, this should be more than good enough.
Where things go awry is if you

It just happened here. I will need to clean up and reboot. This is how
it looks like
lmilano@grisell:upstart$ ls -lh unity7.log

lmilano@grisell:upstart$ tail unity7.log
_xgeWireToEvent: Unknown extension 148, this should never happen.
Ok, before rebooting, I just removed the offending file. It is growing
at a rate of 1Gb every 10s or so. I will try logging out and in, and see
if the log is still growing continuously ...

To be clear: I removed the file before rebooting, but it got regenerated
and refilled at a furious pace, with the same message: _xgeWireToEvent:

Same problem, also unity7.log is the culprit.

Same here. My 120Gb SSD just filled up. Good thing I'm an advanced user
and I could manage to find the offending folder. A newbie would just
need to give up. The harddrive analyzer would not give any info (maybe
because the disk was full).
In my case, it was unity7.log, which was about 50Gb.

This isn't limited to Unity. Just found my start-kde.log had swollen to
several gigabytes because of a V4L bug that VLC had been spewing out for
several minutes.
Upstart needs to be more clever about repeated messages. syslog can, for
example, munch quick duplicates and say Line repeated x times
