Eric,

	xterm -C

or
	xconsole

Note that for xconsole to work /dev/console has to be readable by
you. I thought that this was taken care of by xinit, but it does not
seem to be. Maybe startx? If not, you could make xconsole suid root,
but then anyone could see you console. Don't know if that is a problem
or not...
