Not an expert on this one here... but if you run man console-helper you'll see that this is another one of those programs in front of a program designed to run the program behind it programs... (is this confusing enough?) Kind of like etc/alternatives where a called program links to a link that links back to the program in question.... I'm not down mouthing any of this... just amazed at the ability of things to get so complicated that points of failure go through the roof. James
