Hi Matt,
I propose to fix https://launchpad.net/bugs/60448 for dapper.
Impact: if an application goes wild and dumps large amounts of logging
to ~/.xsession-errors, there is nothing to clean up this file
and limit its size.
Edgy fix: http://librarian.launchpad.net/4679751/xorg.60448.debdiff
(xorg 1:7.1.1ubuntu2, Oct 5)
Xsession checks if the file is > 0.5 MB and if so, only keeps
the last 0.5 MB of data.
Proposed dapper fix: http://librarian.launchpad.net/4937364/xinit.60448.diff
Very same patch (just different package, the file has moved)
This does not affect systems using gdm, since gdm uses its own
Xsession script which completely removes the file. I tested the fix on
a clean Dapper with using xdm, for both cases (small and large file).
Thanks,
Martin
** Changed in: xinit (Ubuntu Dapper)
