Once upon a long ago (Linux version number was below 0) I used to have
an xterm -C or an xconsole as last instruction in my .xinitrc file I
was working on a Sun workstation and not having it meant having a mess
on the root window any time some output reached the console (i.e. talk
request from someuser@onemachine).
Then Linus wrote the virtual consoles (and then it was a very good
thing) and Linux users lost the ability to see console message in X11,
at least AFAIK. I wonder if have things changed, if someone devised a
way to have the console output visible in an X11 window under
GNU/Linux.
