I'm not sure this is what you are looking for but try knotify. 

* kde-base/knotify
     Available versions:  (4.1)  ~4.1.4
        {debug kdeprefix}
     Homepage:            http://www.kde.org/
     Description:         The KDE notification daemon.

I think you need to comment out /dev/tty12 and enter something like:

destination xconsole { pipe("/dev/xconsole"); };
destination console_all { file("/dev/console"); };

in your /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf.

Sorry if my poor english vocabulary didn't help you to understand me.

I'd like to see the output text sent by the graphicals programs to the tty1
when a running in X. Nowaday I using CTRL+ALT+F1 to see them.

I figure out if is there a program that capture and show them in X a window.

Oh, if that is what you want, try to start your X with

  xinit 2>&1 | tee TEMPFILE

and in X open up a terminal and do

  tail -f TEMPFILE

it *should* work.
