I personally don't think that specifying a term as console shows you anything all that interesting - at least, it never has for me. OTOH, if you do a "tail -f /var/log/syslog" in a transparent Eterm, and park it in the corner of your screen, you have a very cool XConsole. Pipe it through a log-colouriser, and it's even cooler. Just trying to catpure console messages using the Eterm option is much less exciting. cheers, damon -- Damon Muller ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) / It's not a sense of humor. * Criminologist / It's a sense of irony * Webmeister / disguised as one. * Linux Geek / - Bruce Sterling - Running Debian GNU/Linux: Doing my bit for World Domination (tm) -
