Thanks to you both I got xconsole running.It just disappeared all of a
sudden and after putting "xconsole &" just about everywhere, without the
faintest whisper of success,well I thought I'd ask.
With the "-file xxx" addition, Gnome starts xconsole quite happily. And you're
right,
dman, syslog gives a lot more than /dev/xconsole. :)
Thanks again!
