Try having 'xterm -C' as the first thing to start up.
I always do, in my .xinitrc:
# Start fvwm2
sleep 10 & pid=$!
fvwm2 &
.. other stuff
wait $pid
if [ -x $HOME/usr/fvwm2/login ]; then
$HOME/usr/fvwm2/login # Custom FVWM2 tools
else
$OPENWINHOME/lib/openwin-init # Default OpenWindows tools
fi
... and in the login script, kick off X tools that I only want run once
at login time (like netscape/xterms, etc. (as opposed to fvwm's Init
function which runs things every restart). 'xterm -C' is the first thing
it does, and that'll catch your console stuff. Pass in a nice small
geometry & iconise the thing if you don't care about it much.
