In my case, it is Rhythmbox that has filled the .xsession-errors file.
I used less on that file, jumped to the end of the file, and paged up.
For about a minute, all I could see where the lines:

(rhythmbox-metadata:29775): GStreamer-CRITICAL **:
gst_bus_timed_pop_filtered: assertion `timeout == 0 || bus->priv->poll
!= NULL' failed

over and over again.  The xession-errors file is 27 GB, and has now
maxed out my system.  I am going to delete this log file and if it keeps
filling up, I might have to do some fiddling to keep it from being
written to.  I wish I could find out why this is failing though, to
cause all these errors.
