Just cleaned up the .xsessionerror file, have not looked the content, pity!
Did some experiment.
I started the x-session under root (althought it is not good to do that)
Found the .x-sessionerror show up again. The content is:
Xsession: X session started for root at Fri Jan 19 07:03:55 EST 2007
Thanks a lot.
It indeed solved my system problem.

I looked at the files under /root, and found
there is a file .xsession-errors has size 4003647488.

My root partition has 4 GB, but I added the size of files under the root
