SuSE Linux: Versions since 7.0

Request:

While starting the X Window System the program xconsole is started always. It disturbs the arrangement of your desktop setup ;-).

Procedure:

To remove this window you need to adapt the /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup on your system. Comment out the last four lines. They should then look like this:
# (
#     exec setsid $xconsole -notify -nostdin -verbose -exitOnFail
# ) & echo $! > /var/run/xconsole.pid
#
# exit 0
At the next X Window System start the xconsole shouldn't appear anymore.
