[Bug 588036] [NEW] firefox fills disk in .xsession-errors

[WaltSullivan]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Firefox fills my $HOME/.xsession-errors file with

(firefox-bin:4350): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead

messages, but the only trouble ahead that I've seen is when firefox uses
up all the space in my home partition by writing

(firefox-bin:4350): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead

to my .xsession-errors file repeatedly.

$ cat ./xsession.summary.cmd 
#!/bin/bash
# Summarize my .xsession-errors file
#
# skip empty lines
#   count repeated lines, sort by repeat count
#   ignore lines that happen 1 or 2 times 
egrep -v '^$' .xsession-errors | \
    sort | uniq -c | sort -n | \
    egrep -v '^ +[1-9] '
