There seems to be quite a bit of debate of when to clear the console
window. How about clearing it at the following two times:
1) After a user's xsession terminates...
2) Prior to a reactivation.
#1 allows it so that one user doesn't see the environment of the
previous user. #2 basically says that previous errors prior to the last
reactivation are probably not important enough, especially, if they are
not recurring during the current reactivation (in which case they'll
reappear).
