- Okay, that it is we used to do so from the beginning of our work under
- X and HP-UX.
-
- But one detail is left: we use xdm instead of the raw console (or
- vue). Is there a way to catch up output to the console with an
- 'invisible' object (similar to the visible one 'hpterm -C ...') ?
- The crux is that we don't want to *see* something else than the
- background and the xdm login window.

- Thanks in advance,
