obviously pts/1 is my Konsole session
But is :0 primary intial session , and pts/0 X-server session ? or is it that pts/0 is the xconsole for error/sys messages <ALT>+<F10> ?
Try this: echo "hello" > /dev/pts/0 and see where if it shows up. You should switch to root for checking this out, because root owns the X server. If you do a "ps auxww" as root , you will see what process and process id is using pts/0. If need be, go into /proc and look in the directory for that pid, it has all the info. If you really want fine control over these ptys , you should boot into ascii mode, and startx manually from a console, and use a simpler window manager than KDE, so you can see whats up. KDE hides a heck of alot from you, that's why it's so easy. I like fvwm2. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
