xconsole

I guess I don't quite understand the purpose of the xconsole program.
I have put run-xconsole in /etc/X11/config and xdm starts xconsole in
the lower right corner.  It gets carried over when someone logs in,
but nothing ever appears in it.  What is supposed to end up there?  On
other workstations I have worked on, there is lots of stuff that shows
up in xconsole, namely errors, kernel messages that would normally go
to the regular console, etc.  This doesn't seem to be happening for
me.  Am I doing something wrong?

This is the line in Xsetup_0:

if grep -q ^run-xconsole /etc/X11/config
then
  xconsole -geometry 480x130-0-0 -daemon -notify -verbose -fn fixed \
    -exitOnFail -file /dev/xconsole
fi

Help please!

Thanks,
Erv
