@konaya I just wrote a post in the forums of what I found to be the root
cause of this issue. In my logs it appeared as if what caused the log
file to grow so large was a brute-force attack. The log filling up is a
result of the failed attempts to authenticate to your system's VNC
server. After a
Shouldn't this bug be broadened a bit? Allowing .xsession-errors to grow
indefinitely without any kind of log rotation in place is a design flaw.
The file should be rotated and old files compressed. A gzipped 5GiB log
file takes up about 20MiB on disk.

It doesn't work that way.
Kanaida, I've got the same bug and have Remmina running as well. It is

This seems to be a lot more wide-spread than just this particular
package. I have found that occasionally deleting the .cache directory
in my home folder seems to solve a lot of this. I keep having this file
fill up a 750GB partition in less than 24 hours. Filling 750 GB, making

Suggestion #1 There should be a file size limit and once that's
reached, it starts to overwrite.
Suggestion #2 Implement the This error repeats 147 more times in the
error log rather than logging each error.
Neither of these are practical solutions. The nature of .xsession-
errors is that
I get the same exact problem when I use remminas, connect to an rdp
client or two. Leave them sit there overnight, sometimes a few days.
Then your pc crashes out of disk space.
I see something similar to the following:

nspluginwrapper fills .xsession-errors until disk
Hi, same issue here, i've this file the size of a DVD... And it's not
that easy to pinpoint the culprit. It is a pretty bad issue IMHO.
I used this:
$ find /home/YOUR_NICK -iname * -mmin -2 -print

and some commands to show how bad NSplugin is impacting the log file
here (number of lines in the log file and the size of the file):

$ grep NSPlugin ~/.xsession-errors.old | wc -l

$ ls -l ~/.xsession-errors

I noticed the backup of my home directory was taking hours rather than
