xconsole started appearing after update

Hello

After world upgrade (3 weeks ago) I found that xconsole starts along with xdm
startup. It appears along with logging windows in xdm.
I don't use neither kde nor gnome. I use fluxbox but I think that it does not
matter because xconsole appears before starting fluxbox.

"ps" shows me the following:
xconsole -geometry 480x130-0-0 -daemon -notify -verbose -fn fixed -exitOnFail

I found in /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 the following (Note that it is commented out).
### xconsole -geometry 480x130-0-0 -daemon -notify -verbose -fn fixed -exitOnFail

I have the following versions of the software:
gentoo (3 weeks old world update)
xorg-x11 7.4-r1
xorg-server 1.6.3.901-r2
fluxbox 1.0.0-r2

How can I force xorg not to launch xconsole at startup.

great thanks for help

Two ideas: use the 'f' flag with ps (ps -axf) to see who owns the
xconsole process; and delete or rename xconsole and see who complains
when X starts up.

xdm starts it:

$ equery f xdm| while read f ; do file "$f" |grep -qi text && grep -H
xconsole $f; done
/etc/X11/xdm/Xresources:XConsole.text.geometry: 480x130
/etc/X11/xdm/Xresources:XConsole.verbose: true
/etc/X11/xdm/Xresources:XConsole*iconic: true
/etc/X11/xdm/Xresources:XConsole*font: fixed
/usr/lib64/X11/xdm/GiveConsole:# By convention, both xconsole and xterm
-C check that the
/usr/lib64/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0:xconsole -geometry 480x130-0-0 -daemon
-notify -verbose -fn fixed -exitOnFail
/usr/share/man/man1/xdm.1:to run \fIxconsole\fP here).
/usr/share/man/man1/xdm.1: xconsole\0\-geometry\0480x130\-0\-0\0
\-notify\0\-verbose\0\-exitOnFail &

/usr/lib64/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 is the file that you want.
