At least for Tux Math and Tux Typing, I would not like to see a
console window pop up if the programs are launched from the Start menu
or from an icon click (or at least my users wouldn't like it - it
wouldn't bother me ;).  If there were some way to have stdout and
stderr go to a console only if the program was invoked from the
command line, I would like it.
