You are not said what was wrong ! If file is open by some program you can
delete it easy. Just file will not be actually deleted. And of course
du will not see it while df will. It's basic unix design, not error.
If you reboot system without cleanly inmounting ext2fs disks you are getting
corrupted filesystem and it must be fixed by e2fsck (that's why e2fsck is
needed in first place - it's not THE ONLY reason, but main reason). So I can
not see any kernel problems in you report at all. Why .xsession-errors was
1.1GB in size and why it was in /root is interesting question (You are not
using WordPerfect and/or Netscape from root, right ?) but it's not
kernel-related ...
