I don't think they're leaving it there on purpose, it's just that /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 hasn't been updated to deal with the fact that KDM's desktop program isn't a seperate binary (or at least it hadn't last I checked, which was a while ago). Xconsole actually can be useful (and understandable) to normal users, for instance if you're running mgetty, it sticks messages in there if you get a fax. For most users though, it isn't useful, and for now you can just edit Xsetup_0 to your liking. > But since the new Cooker (after 9.0) - Xconsole > starts automatically > with KDE.

I wonder if it's just that Xconsole isn't capable of handling codes and colors. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
