Problem:
.xsession-errors file fills up the home directory:
Idea here is to either
1) modify the lines in the /etc/X11/Xsession file from
exec >>"$ERRFILE" 2>&1
to
exec >"$ERRFILE" 2>&1
which will overwrite the xsession-errors file on each start of X,
(idea from google somewhere)
or else
2) follow the idea of
http://www.skolelinux.no/~klaus/newnotater/x2548.html
if we don't care about X errors
and simply replace
the error handling stanza with
**************
errfile="/dev/null"
exec > "$errfile" 2>&1
***************
Or else
3) set up log rotation of the .xsession-errors files in users directories.

I was wondering exactly how to set up logrotate as what I tried didn't work.
I have step-by-step instructions on how to use logrotate for this on my blog.
