I've found the answer.  It is possible to redirect the log file to
/dev/null *if* you're root, but not otherwise.  However, the verbosity
of the logging is controllable:

    startx -- -logverbose 0

This writes almost nothing to the log and keeps its size down to only a
few hundred bytes.  This option isn't mentioned in the man pages.


Cheers,

John
