Is it posssible to have syslog-ng to output log data to a windowed shell rather than a main terminal. I'm currently running Debian v3 with KDE, & can get it to output ok to fullscreen terminal screens e.g. tty8 and root, but not windowed in the KDE environment.

If so what should the config line be for this.
