- The problem is that we use NCD x-terminals with an XDM login, so the
- console is forced upon us. XConsole has to be run subsequently, and
- simply doesn't get any input. Even if it did I suspect it would get
- the SERVERs console messages, not the LOCAL ones.
-
- (EG: I am on a machine, TSUNB, which serves the NCDs. The xconsole
- reports for TSUNB. But _I_ need reports for my NCD, tx107:0.0)
-
- No doubt the console situation could be hacked.
- But I'm keen to try to get twm to de-iconify on a signal anyway,
- for general use.
- Here we go...
