You shouldn't worry. I delete that file all the time. Mine fills up when KDE crashes. And still everything works file so delete away...
In my /home directory I found a file called .xsession-errors which had filled all of my free space up! - your talking GB! I deleted it and it's slowly filling again. I can only assume that it's been filling for months. At the moment, the most common entry is:-
kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KActionCollection::KActionCollection( QObject *parent, const char *name, KInstance *instance )
But there are others.....
Should I be particularly worried about this? - is it normal to have 'random' errors appear in this file?
Not only this, but I've started to take notice of the amount of disk space I have available and I'm convinced I've lost a load. Maybe I have a problem HD? I think I might boot from the live CD and run 'fsck'....
Bad day!
Stu.....
