It might be worth reporting bugs on the packages which create a great 
deal of output on their stdout/stderr filehandles, too. As you've 
noticed, people aren't likely to actually see that output when it's 
appended to .xsession-errors. That sort-of behaviour is often used for 
debugging messages which should not be enabled in production builds and 
can be very frustrating when one launches such an application from a 
terminal. KDE seems to be a particularly bad offender at the moment.
