The solution is simple. You must change your logging for X. This is controlled by the file /etc/X11/Xsession you will see the variable ERRFILE=$HOME/.xsession-errors and you should see the line exec >>"$ERRFILE" 2>&1 now this says it keeps adding to the file exec >>"$ERRFILE" 2>&1 if you change it to exec >"$ERRFILE" 2>&1 then when you restart X it is wiped out. or else you can just do ERRFILE=/dev/null and never collect errors at all ...
