However, if you have tried to delete the file and do need to free the
space without logging out or restarting, for example when you have open
documents that need saving and there is no more free disk space this
should work:

find /proc/*/fd -type l -lname '*.xsession-errors*' 2> /dev/null

this will give you a list of filenames like:
/proc/12345/fd/1
/proc/54321/fd/2

You should be able to use any filename in that list and do:
echo > /proc/12345/fd/1

Where "/proc/12345/fd/1" is replaced by one of those filenames.
