Can someone tell me why xconsole called without the '-file' option isn't
able to read /dev/console?  I have /dev/console world readable:

crw-rw-rw-   1 root     root       4,   0 Apr  6 18:58 /dev/console

Yet it says it isn't able to open console.  On the other hand, "xconsole
-file /dev/console" works...  I know I can use /dev/xconsole, and that
works as well since you specifically have to specify the -file option.
This is an issue of compatibility across different machine types and I'd
like xconsole to be able to read from /dev/console without having to
specify the file. 

Clues, anyone?
