Me neither. If someone does not want the console-window on the
desktop: It can be iconified or hidden.


We have gone through this kind of argument as well. :) Interestingly, many
people consider an opened/iconified console window as a burden. And let's
be honest: we shouldn't penalise users for buggy apps. Pierre is right,
sometimes the output comes from mintlib so its not always easily fixable.
Not to mention old and long abandoned apps.

Fixing TosWin2 is quicker but its still a workaround (you must have it
running, explicitly -- another burden to the user).
