   The -C is definitely missing, so far as I can tell.  From the poking
around I've been able to do (mostly by means of enlightened guessing), the
only way to get console stuff to show up someplace other than on the console
is to have something constantly read /dev/xcons.  There is a 'xcons'
program, but the man entry I found is obtuse, and my fiddlings with it
didn't seem to produce much result.  (I'd love to hear from someone else who
could tell me just how DEC does pseudo-console stuff.  From what I know so
far, I like the Sun scheme better...)

   I don't have a clue on how to make .X11Startup problems show up in
dxsession, or as to why you're seeing display droppings.  I haven't yet seen
any display droppings, though I haven't yet pounded on my DS3100's X stuff
all that hard.  I'm using uwm.  Perhaps it's something that twm is doing?
If you do get an answer, I would of course be interested in hearing it.
