Because with GNOME ~/.xsession-errors is cleaned on every session
startup. So either that's broken for you for some reason, or you just
have run your session for a very long time, or there is some
particular process which spews a lot of messages into it.

Can you please copy it aside (copy it to ~/xsession-errors.old),
log out, back in, and check how big ~/.xsession-errors is? Did it get
appended on or emptied? 

If it got emptied, how long have you run your previous session since
the last login from gdm? (suspending/hibernating continues an existing
session)

If the last session isn't that old yet (like only a day old), is there
something in ~/.xsession-errors which got repeated over and over?

Thanks, Martin
