Oh yeah, I noticed xconsole not working too... or at least it doesn't 
work as non-root. I have options UCONSOLE in my kernel config, and 
according to options(4), it's supposed to allow anyone to grab the 
console output, not just root. So why do I have to su before running 
xconsole (or xterm -c)? It works properly on my NetBSD/i386 system, but 
not on the mac68k.
