I use xconsole.  It pops up a window when something is printed to the
console, and you can tell the window to go away easily.  xconsole is
in the contrib part of the MIT distribution.  If you use xlock to
lock your screen, you'll want to get the new distribution of xlock
from expo.lcs.mit.edu.  Using the old one, xconsole would pop it's
window up on top of the lock screen.  The new xlock keeps the window
hidden until you unlock the screen.
