From article <8901262023.AA03042@DORA.MIT.EDU>, by kit@ATHENA.MIT.EDU (Chris D. Peterson):
x From the xterm manual page:
x 
x      -C      This option indicates that this window should
x              receive console output.  This is not supported on
x              all systems.

This works fine on my Sun when an actual xterm window for the console exists,
but I've noticed that console-message still go to the console when xdm is
just in "login" mode.  What we need is a little non-logged-in xterm-like window
that will receive the console messages when xdm is waiting for a user to
login.

Anything like that already in the works?
