If you don't have any preferences and you type "console", you get the
error mesage "ERROR: Console couldn't open Default; proceeding with
fudgenut.con...".  You then get the fudgenut console, which is not
terribly well-suited to novice users.

To fix this bug, you need to change one character on line 1921 of
atk/console/lib/setup.c, where it says "Default" instead of "default". 
If you get rid of the capitalization, I believe the bug will be fixed. 
It worked for me, anyway.

Cheers. -- Nathaniel
