I'm affected too.

1)  I'm using Libreoffice, then for whatever reason it turns grey and my
disk is writing like nuts. i kill libreoffice, destroying my document.
the disk writing stops.

2) i restart libreoffice writer, recover what's left of my document and
save it for good measure

3) i get a i/o error, stating i can't save the file.

4) puzzled, i free up more disk space to 1 GB free, and save my file.

5) back to 1). again libreoffice freezes, and 1GB of diskspace eaten in
seconds!


i check my home folder and indeed find two files:

.xsession-errors         992.7 MB
.xsession-errors.old  611.0 MB

.xsession-errors is filled with the following line over and over:

(soffice:2993): LIBDBUSMENU-GLIB-CRITICAL **:
dbusmenu_menuitem_property_set_variant: assertion
`DBUSMENU_IS_MENUITEM(mi)' failed

which tells me something doesnt sit well with dbus and menu items... lo-menubar?
anyways, such errors shouldn't be able to do fill up a disk in seconds!
