There is an upstart logrotate job that runs automatically soon after session start, however, it does not (yet) run periodically to handle rogue jobs such as gnome-session. You can however run the job yourself simply enough as a non-root user:
$ start logrotate
Please attach a few lines of the output from your gnome-session log.
