Recall that this is only for programs that open /dev/console directly
and write to it, like syslogd.

the description makes it sound like xconsole would not be able to show
kernel error messages.

xconsole is a hack anyway.

the correct way would be to have way to connect to syslogd and subscribe
to messages.
