No, as .xsession-errors is not written to directly by GIMP. What you could try is running GIMP from a terminal, and sending all of the error output to /dev/null, like this: gimp 2> /dev/null When you run it from your panel, all of that output is farted into the .xsession-errors file. So, you could change your GIMP launcher to run it this way as well, thus saving the .xsession-errors file. To see the weird stuff being sent into this file, type: tail .xsession-errors That will give you the last ten lines. > I resorted to deleting the .xsession-errors.
