But if you can live with having the text display on the desktop, root-tail can help you. Otherwise, konsole + `tail -f foo` should suffice. Ritesh -- If possible, Please CC me when replying.

Yes, I'm aware of that, but that is only displayed while logging in and still uses xconsole. It seems this is just an app that nobody has bothered to write yet. It would be nice to have though, especially if it would have some filtering options so you could suppress certain messages. pgpcYrvJ1g7g5.pgp Description: PGP signature

It's not a command-line switch; /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsetup contains a commented-out xconsole line: #xconsole -geometry 480x130-0-0 -notify -verbose -fn fixed -exitOnFail -file /dev/xconsole & You can uncomment this to include an xconsole in your kdm. I find it useful for checking what Network Manager has logged about my network status before attempting remote logins.

Actually, by coincidence I was playing with Etch kdm earlier today and noticed in one of the READMEs in /usr/share/doc/kdm that there's a command-line switch that makes kdm offer some kind of xconsole window - this feature having been added by request of SuSE if I remember rightly. I'm on, uh, a different OS at the moment so I can't give any better detail. Cheers, Nick Boyce -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I am afraid that there is nothing (at least in debian). Maybe karamba to display it on desktop. konsole and xconsole is running here too. thank you Markus -- http://www.markus-raab.org | Keine Schneeflocke in der Lawine wird sich -o) | je verantwortlich fühlen. -- Stanislaw Kernel 2.6.20 /\ | Jerzy Lec (eig.

That is probably the program I use most :-) However, I'm not looking for a terminal emulator, but for something that will display console messages, just like xconsole does. But thanks for your reply.

If you installed the kde desktop system it should be listed as an x-shell in your debian menu. It can also be run as superuser from the menu in system > more applications> Terminal Program Super User Mode You can put most application either in the system tray or the taskbar where ever you like by right clicking on the taskbar and following the instructions in the pop up.
