Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
Firefox fills my $HOME/.
(firefox-bin:4350): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead
messages, but the only trouble ahead that I've seen is when firefox uses up all the space in my home partition by writing
(firefox-bin:4350): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead
to my .xsession-errors file repeatedly.
$ cat ./xsession.
#!/bin/bash
# Summarize my .xsession-errors file
#
# skip empty lines
# count repeated lines, sort by repeat count
# ignore lines that happen 1 or 2 times
egrep -v '^$' .xsession-errors | \

egrep -v '^ +[1-9] '
