[Gllug] xsession-errors growing too large

[Jon Dye]

Hi,

When started using my PC this morning I discovered that I'd filled up my
/home partition overnight and my PC had started bouncing email.

I eventually tracked down the problem to a 5.1GB ~/.xsession-errors
file.  I have deleted the file but I've just realised that various X
processes have the file open still so it's still using up the disk
space.  I'd rather not restart X (especially as I'm currently remote
from the machine and stuff is running in X).  Is there a way to get the
various processes to re-open xsession-errors?  The processes in question
seem to be most of kde.

A more general question is, what is the best way to deal with
rotation/deletion/truncation of this log file for systems with long
running X processes (I'm assuming it gets truncated on X startup)?

JD
