Hi,

I will assume that you are using an X display manager like xdm,
wdm etc. If that isn't the case, please ignore this message.

I use wdm, Debian 2.2r0. In the file /etc/X11/wdm/wdm.options,
there is a line 'run-xconsole' which opens xconsole when wdm is
started. To disable this feature, either comment out this line
with a hash mark, or add a 'no-' prefix to make it
'no-run-xconsole'. See the manpage wdm.options(5).

Ditto for xdm.

HTH,
Raghavendra.
