That 20GB logfile had filled up over just over 2 days. With the amount of data on that drive I expected it to take time. What I didn't expect is this dreadful filling up of logfiles. I think they will have to remain inactive until I get this sorted.

That's a bug. As a temporary workaround, you can:

rm .xsession-errors
ln -s /dev/null .xsession-errors

That is, all log messages will be swallowed by /dev/null.

Not really a good idea. However, you do need to rotate the log. Just drop a script into:

/etc/logrotate.d

I think that the attached is correct, but read the find man page for: "logrotate".
