Description D.S. Ljungmark 2012-01-15 13:36:54 UTC

Description of problem:
Came back to my computer after an hour or two afk, and it complained about disk full.

Launched disk usage analyzer, and found out ~/.xsession-errors has flooded the disk.

See http://getsatisfaction.com/spotify/topics/spotify_is_writing_an_obscene_amount_of_information_to_error_file

It's the Spotify native client. Not much we can do in Fedora to fix it.
