Alas that won't work. See bug #3751 and my patch. Though I no longer
use
xconsole as it keeps growing unless you kill it. Right now I have a
simple
C program that resembles tail but reopens the fifo when the other side
reopens
it. This in addition to a simple script and xterm replaces the
functionality of
xconsole nicely.
