Many thanks to those of you who have been attempting to help me stop
console messages from appearing across the entire bottom of my SUN
screen, ruining all my X windows.  The suggestions have all pointed at
using xterm to set up a console window, using xterm -C to indicate the
console window, and xterm -ut to indicate windows that should not get
console messages.

I have added these options to my .xinitrc, and now the console
messages are being written into *each* xterm window rather than across
the entire screen!  While this is perhaps a modest improvement, I
don't want the messages at all, except in the one console window.
What am I doing wrong?

P.S.  Thanks to David DiGiacomo, Guy Harris and Phil Dykstra for
attempting to point the way!
