Linux Console Problem

I have a problem with my Linux console.  Maybe it isn't a problem, but
it is rather annoying...  Anyway, when I start X, all its debugging info
goes to the terminal I started "startx" from.  This becomes a problem
when, i.e., GIMP crashes, and leaves its crud all over a screen somewhere
else...  Even more annoying is when I get a talk request:  It goes
to my terminal, instead of an X-Terminal!!

Okay, so anyway, I'd like to redirect it, but XConsole doesn't seem 
to do anything.  It doesn't /fail/ however, it just doesn't intercept
anything.

Now, I do have one guess as to what it may be... I understand that
Slackware didn't build the /dev/console device properly.  I just
made a guess and linked it as this:

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root            4 Oct 29 18:01 /dev/console -> tty0
crw--w--w-   1 root     root       4,   0 Feb 11 19:08 /dev/tty0


Any guesses?  I would appreciate any intelligent thoughts on the
matter...
