simple version (as root): 
# tail -f /var/log/messages


or have a look at /usr/ports/sysutils/multitail

you don't need to be root to monitor /var/log/messages. have a look at the 
permissions of the different logfiles

Uh, yes; I forgot I changed some permissions.

Log in with gdm and it creates a console log window for you.

Is there a way to change the desktop (i.e. KDE, GNOME, WM) on a user-by-user 
basis?

For KDE:
$ echo exec startkde  ~user/.xinitrc
For GNOME:
$ echo exec gnome-session  ~user/.xinitrc
For another WM:
$ echo exec WMname  ~user/.xinitrc
where WMname is icewm for IceWM, blackbox for blackbox, etc.

Now, no matter which one you did:
$ echo '#!/bin/sh'  ~user/.xsession
$ cat ~user/.xinitrc  ~user/.xsession
$ chmod +x ~user/.xsession

HTH,
