Well, I got sidetracked on the ffmpeg thing. Now that it is fixed, this
file isn't filling with anything. It just sorta sits there. I did
empty it at one point and it has stayed that way for a bit now. Maybe
recompiling some packages and getting everything up to date given other
issue with opencascade and such fixed whatever it was that caused it.
If it starts filling itself with useless stuff again, back to the
solution you gave.
Thanks for the help. :-D

Search in the above paths and you should find the default sddm config
file,
which you can copy over to /etc and tweak it to stop it recording events

your user xsession log file.

This is what you can do easily and without having to add your own new
02_dale_sddm.conf file just to specify the log file path for sddm:
mv ~/.local/share/sddm/xorg-session.log ./
ln -s /dev/null ~/.local/share/sddm/xorg-session.log
then login into Plasma and the problem of an ever growing log file will be
gone. You will need to remove the symlink and restore the log file if you
want to troubleshoot the sddm or desktop in the future.
