I never experienced this before today, but this morning and noticed I
had lost 300+GB of space overnight.  Baobab didn't give me any idea
where the space had gone (it ignores dot-files?!?!), but K4DirStats led
me straight to .xsession-errors.  Through my own folly, I did not
capture a tail of what had been generating all the output.  After
reboot, the only error I see being continually re-written is:

WARN  2011-11-18 08:39:40 glib <unknown>:0 Unable to fetch children:
Method "Children" with signature "" on interface "org.ayatana.bamf.view"
doesn't exist

That message is only written at a rate of about once a minute, though.
So, it's unlikely to be the only cause unless something caused it to
accelerate in frequency.
