David,
The <root> logger is not actually called "Root". In fact it cannot be
looked up using the LogManager.GetLogger("") call. Because loggers are
created on demand if you do call LogManager.GetLogger("Root") then you
will get back a new logger called Root but this is not the <root>
logger. To configure this "Root" logger you would use:
<logger name="Root">
...
</logger>
Ok so how do we get the real <root> logger?
log4net.Repository.Hierarchy.Hierarchy h =
(log4net.Repository.Hierarchy.Hierarchy)log4net.LogManager.GetLoggerRepo
sitory();
log4net.Repository.Hierarchy.Logger rootLogger = h.Root;
Then from there you can call GetAppender to lookup your ConsoleAppender.

PS. I promise this will be easier in future.
