- We have R5 running on several DS 5000 series machines and have tossed
- decwindows (yuk) in favor of the system for numerous reasons. Anyway, in
- response to your question, simply add a line to start xconsole in the system-
- wide Xsession script in /usr/lib/X11/xdm and a window will be started everytime
- anyone logs in that intercepts such messages.
-
- We've had zero problems running it that way. Hope this helps.
