i use eterm for this but i believe that wterm works the same way. you can see a screenshot of my desktop (or an old one :) at: http://www.spack.org/geek/desktop-wm2.gif to see if i understand right what you are trying to do. with eterm the command i run is (i run it in my ~/.xinitrc file): (sleep 10; Eterm -O -W -F"-schumacher-clean-medium-r-normal-*-*-80-*-*-c-*-iso646.1991-irv" -M /dev/null -S black -f yellow --unfocused-scrollbar-color black -L 512 -C -x -g 187x6+0+0) & i found that the sleep 10 was necessary so that the background would be set before the console window pop'd up. with eterm it is the -C option which makes it work like xconsole. i believe that wterm has the same option. from the wterm manpage: -C Intercept console messages. so it shouldn't be too hard to make it behave in the same way. adam. ------------------------ Internet Alaska ------------------------ 4050 Lake Otis Pkwy Adam Shand (v) +1 907 562 4636 Anchorage, AK 99508 Technical Lead (f) +1 907 562 1677 --------------------- http://www.spack.org/ --------------------- "Computers are useless.
