Probably, '"run-xconsole" line in my /etc/X11/config' merely allows one
to run "xconsole" in an X session.
Note in /etc/syslog.conf:
# The named pipe /dev/xconsole is for the `xconsole' utility. To use it,
# you must invoke `xconsole' with the `-file' option:
#
# $ xconsole -file /dev/xconsole [...]
#
Automatically? Run "xconsole -file /dev/xconsole" from ~/.xinitrc or
some other X Window startup routine.
