Viewing the console from X

[William O'Higgins]

I have often wanted to see the console output of programs launched from
X, but the only way that I know is to shut down X and look at the
underlying console, which obviously wrecks the arrangement of programs,
windows and associated states that I have built up on X over the hours,
days or weeks that they X server has been running.

Is there a way that I can open up a window to "tail -f" the underlying
console?

Thanks.
