The offending code is in /etc/X11/Xsession

Some updates ago, code was changed to increment .xsession-errors instead
of overwrite it.

/etc/X11/Xsession line 94:
exec >>"$ERRFILE" 2>&1

Change it back to:
exec >"$ERRFILE" 2>&1

I think reverting to the previous overwrite behaviour would be a good
enough choice.

This bug affect any Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu
Offending package:
xinit
