I simply (like someone else mentioned on the list) truncate the file 
periodically (actually, once every minute) using a crontab with a task like 
this:

  *  *  *   *   *     echo "Cleared on $(date) by $USER cron" > 
/home/<username>/.xsession-errors

Back in some day, the .xsession-errors was growing by, iirc, multiple messages 
every second.  (This might have been in Debian Wheezy, or a Debian before 
Wheezy, or even in a version of Mandrake / Mandriva.)
