Hi Cilmar,

According to the rsyslog docs (hint, hint ;)), you need to put the
second action on the next line and precede it with an ampersand (&).

You'll also need the pipe (|) (not a separator; it's for writing to
FIFOs) with /dev/xconsole for it to work.  Something like:

       kern.*   -/var/log/message,
            & |/dev/xconsole

Also, for Ubuntu (I just tested this on my Ubuntu install), you may
have to create /dev/xconsole before using the xconsole command:

I did on Ubuntu 11.10.

HTH,
