Hi Mikael,

I am getting this automatically when I log on as root or ordinary user. I
installed X and KDE from binaries on the RC5 iso image. KDE was upgraded from
sources a couple of times since then with emerge (now it is 2.2.1). This has
to be something in my x configuration (I have not tweaked that at all,
actually). This xtem window just pops up (minimized on the taskbar in KDE) and
the prompt is "bash 2.3 ". When I go home tonight I try to install some other
window manager like xfce to see this happening outside KDE as well...

Isn't possible to use "XSession" instead of KSession (or
what-name-it-has), it should of you haven't configured it start twm.

It would be nice to see if this only shows up when you run KDE (perhaps
this is a KDE-feature :)

HI MIkael,

I installed xfce, set initdefault to 3, and started X with startxfce (just to 
avoid even running kdm). Even in this KDE-free environment, I had this weird 
Console log window showing up...Then I started looking at config files, and 
found it finally: /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0, which looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
# $Xorg: Xsetup_0,v 1.3 2000/08/17 19:54:17 cpqbld Exp $
xconsole -geometry 480x130-0-0 -daemon -notify -verbose -fn fixed -exitOnFail
QT_XFT=1

I commented out the xconsole line and voila, the console log disappeared...

What is this Xsetup_0 for? Is it allright to comment that line out? I had the 
strange impression that before I run KDM, there might be something else 
running with its own settings (I have the KDM login window on a grey 
backround (similar to that which shows up when you try to set up X, but 
things do not pan out) and even though I have the background set up with a 
wallpaper in KDE login manager, it does not show up...

Viktor

Viktor,

It must be some other problem.  I, too,  run xfce from runlevel 3
(startxfce) and have the same Xsetup_0 file you describe.  I don't
believe this is even referenced unless you are using xdm, which I'm
not.

Hi!

I have no idea what this is about. Perhaps Dan Amark does? He's the one
responsible for KDE-stuff.

Always blame KDE, eh? Actually this file is installed by the xfree package. 
It is used by xdm and hence by all xdm frontends e.g. kdm, gdm.
I don't like the xconsole log myself, so I have no objection to havg the 
cfree ebuild remove that line from Xsetup_0 by default.

I have never seen this, therefor I thought it might be some KDE-stuff. I
don't know about kdm but gdm is not a xdm frontend.

Which version of XFree does this?
Not 4.1.0-r1 anyway? I don't see this (even when starting with xdm).

  Mikael Hallendal

Yes, it does, here anyway.
