xconsole has nothing to do with the kernel, it is just an X11 application.
That's correct! I'm surprised nobody realized that before :-)
Apparently no one answering your question understands what you are talking about.... because you haven't explained it very well at all. But I think I have the same problem as you. xconsole appears in the GUI login screen (I'm running GDM) and *DOES NOT* go away; it stays and in the process dorks the geometry of the login screen. GDM doesn't know how to share the screen with another app (for obvious reasons) and then passes the geometry it used to GNOME so the task bars / panels appear in the wrong places. For me the bottom panel does not appear on the bottom of the screen but about 3/4 of the way down and both the top and the bottom of panels only use about 2/3 the width of the screen. Booting into runlevel 3 and starting X with startx, thus not invoking GDM, works (but of course breaks other things like HAL).
Well, I'm using gdm (although I prefer wdm, but it is broken in 10.3), and I don't see xconsole - and I miss it :-P Just kidding, but I was used to see xconsole at the bottom-left end of my screen. It didn't spoil anything. I think I minimized it or put something on top of it, but I had forgotten about it, till after changing from wdm to gdm, it suddenly disappeared. I don't know why it breaks your display geometry :-? Anyway, if you do "ps afxu | less -S", and search for "xconsole" you should be able to find where it comes from. The configuration is a the /etc/gdm tree, see if you can find a reference to xconsole there. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
