Oops. You sent that as root.
Anyway, I believe the console window was never owned by the user. It
was owned by root, and actually was a part of the xlogin program. Yes,
it is intended to be owned by nobody. It does not fork when killed,
but has a parent process that restarts it when it exits. It is
intended to be configurable in this way. If you run
/mit/xdm/@sys/bin/config_console the program will send a HUP signal to
the console, which will dump its contents and exit, after which the
display manager will restart it, and it will read in the resources
from the X server.
