Huh? On my machine it does, or it seems to. While I'm logged in as root,
I can run dt and all the messages show up on only the first screen
(command-1). If messages arrive while I'm switched to another screen, then
they just get written to the first screen's buffer. I see them when I
switch to it.

At least that's how my 1.1.3 version works.

Take care,
