Nautilus outputs burts of some debugging messages, causing .xsession-errors to fill up. This difficults tracking unexpected problems in other applications, since their logs are not saved due to the log file being too long already. Please stop logging them; they are useless, since they never ever change from this:
** Message: drive = 0
** Message: volume = 0

They always come in pairs and I'm not sure what causes them, but from looking at a nautilus-debug-log.txt I have in my hands, I see that they seem to occur when I'm sitting in front of the computer. From this file I was able to determine after months of seeing this problem that the culprit was actually Nautilus.

In a nautilus-debug-log.txt spanning only 4 days I see short of 15000 of these lines, amounting for almost 800kB of output and 98% of the size of said file.
