[Bug 60448] Re: .xsession_errors file grows out of control & saturates disk space

[mlaverdiere]

I'm the original reporter for this bug, more than 3 years ago, on
Dapper.  I don't want to criticize anyone, but it amazes me to see that
this bug is still causing problem on Karmic...

Here's what I think:

It's OK to point out that Babara's  problem was caused by a buggy
Chromium installation.  But still, a Ubuntu installation should not
allow any buggy program to cause a disk saturation with an out of
control growing .xsession_errors file...  It has to be some better ways
to deal with error logs caused by a faulty program, no?

Also, we should keep in mind that emptying this file on session startup
may not be sufficient.  For those of us who use suspend (sleep) on
laptop, a session may last forever (well, almost...), so the file will
never be cleaned up on time to prevent serious problems when a buggy
program starts to create error logs.
