Title:
  libxext fills up .xsession-errors log files

Status in libxext package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in libxext source package in Utopic:
  Fix Committed
Status in libxext source package in Vivid:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  libxext can write debug output, and it can write so much of it that it
  fills up .xsession-errors t be several GB and fill up the hard disk
  (or the equivalent file with lightdm).

  error is "_xgeWireToEvent: Unknown extension 148, this should never
  happen"

  [TEST CASE]
  Install Plasma 5 on utopic
  Use it for a while
  Notice that ~/.xsession-errors is filling up saying "_xgeWireToEvent: Unknown extension 148, this should never happen"

  with the new packages this will not happen
