Ask the user who enables it. It's useless to set this option with a
graphical frontend, but you should not stop people doing useless things.
And with a TUI this option is useful.
I wouldn't care if a graphical frontend is used or not. If someone uses
su to login as a differnt user in a XTerm, it's very difficult to
distinguish this from xdm. The graphical frontend might redirect stdout
to /dev/null, so it's the same as without this option. Simply, this
option is only useful in a console, the same like stderr (and stdout) of
iceweasel, but it's used.
Where does the motd or the message about new mails go to? What happens to
the messages from fsck while booting with a splash screen?
Bye, Jörg.
