As I understand him he wants it to move...

# old_line /usr/X11/bin/xconsole -geometry 320x70+0+0 -daemon -notify -verbose
-exitOnFail
--------------------------------

/etc/X11/xdm/Xresources_0 (for the local console)

Well, redirecting to /dev/xconsole works for me... might want to check
the permissions, I have rw-rw-rw- on /dev/xconsole (BTW folks, is that a
potential problem?)
