Since I don't understand why you would want to *edit* that file, I
suggest you use

pager .xsession-errors

to view it.

# I never understand why folks use an editor to just look at a file.

BTW, I use lv as my default pager. It does on-the-fly decompression,
encoding detection (I get a lot of Shift_JIS files ...) and allows you
to cycle through supported encodings (useful you have to deal with files
that have content with multiple encodings).

Hope this helps,
