Having said that, it's clearly not a bright idea to put a log file of

And it's pretty obvious why a separate partition is useful there, even
for a standalone workstation.
.xsession-errors is a user log for errors related to their err
X-Session.
Sot of proving that the OP logs in a root to do most if not all things.
Otherwise .xsession-errors would not be that big in the first place.
I realise that, but /root is rarely on a separate partition to /,
whereas /home often is. That makes /root a bad place to put any
unlimited log, even if root is the logged-in user. Something like
/var/log/root, with root permissions, might be a better idea.
