Doing this
	cat -u /dev/xcons
in what you want to be your console window will grab all of the
console output to that window.  I was using it in the background for a 
while and found that it wasn't getting killed when I logged out like the
other things that that window started up were (twm, xclock, xload), so that 
I would eventually have a number of them hanging around fighting over the 
console output.  I haven't looked into that yet.

Let me know what you find out about doing it right.
