That's correct! I'm surprised nobody realized that before :-)
Apparently no one answering your question understands what you are
talking about.... because you haven't explained it very well at all.
But I think I have the same problem as you. xconsole appears in the GUI
login screen (I'm running GDM) and *DOES NOT* go away; it stays and in
the process dorks the geometry of the login screen. GDM doesn't know
how to share the screen with another app (for obvious reasons) and then
passes the geometry it used to GNOME so the task bars / panels appear in
the wrong places. For me the bottom panel does not appear on the bottom
of the screen but about 3/4 of the way down and both the top and the
bottom of panels only use about 2/3 the width of the screen. Booting
into runlevel 3 and starting X with startx, thus not invoking GDM, works
(but of course breaks other things like HAL).
Well, I'm using gdm (although I prefer wdm, but it is broken in 10.3), and
I don't see xconsole - and I miss it :-P
Just kidding, but I was used to see xconsole at the bottom-left end of my
screen. It didn't spoil anything. I think I minimized it or put something
on top of it, but I had forgotten about it, till after changing from wdm
to gdm, it suddenly disappeared.
I don't know why it breaks your display geometry :-?
Anyway, if you do "ps afxu | less -S", and search for "xconsole" you
should be able to find where it comes from.
The configuration is a the /etc/gdm tree, see if you can find a reference
to xconsole there.
