I have the lines
# 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 [...]

daemon.*;mail.*;\
news.crit;news.err;news.notice;\
*.=debug;*.=info;\
*.=alert;\
*.=notice;*.=warn |/dev/xconsole
at the bottom of my syslog.conf, which seems to do the thing you want to.
