Oh, sorry, I should have explained:

    -C      This  option  indicates  that  this  window   should
             receive  console  output.   This is not supported on
             all systems.  To obtain console output, you must  be
             the  owner  of the console device, and you must have
             read and write permission for it.  If you  are  run-
             ning  X under xdm on the console screen you may need
             to have  the  session  startup  and  reset  programs
             explicitly  change the ownership of the console dev-
             ice in order to get this option to work.

Perhaps it's a Solaris thing, but I use this feature a lot...
