Actually, ~/.xsession-errors is not even meant to preserve old entries. 
  When X starts, the file is overwritten.  Old entries are deleted when 
you login.  Or at least, that how it *should* be.  If not, something 
else might be wrong.  I'm not aware of any distro out there that somehow 
preserves this file between X login sessions.

And besides, these logs are just there to help you figure out what 
happens when something breaks.  They're just informational and not 
needed by anything.
