OK, I figured out that xconsole will provide a console window, though I'm
surprised that there isn't a default output for it.
So I turned on kernel message logging to the console via the rsyslog.conf file.
When I try to nfs mount to this machine, though, it times out unless I
stop the iptables service. When iptables is on I don't get any messages on the
console window, so I can't see the reason for the denial. hmmph.
