Just switch to the tty X is running on and background the process, then copy and 
paste right there. Or better yet when you startup X send stderr out to a log 
file( I thought it was already. )

I dont have any trouble with Copy and paste. In X if the buffer I want 
isnt still in the paste
buffer I just reselect it in klipper. If Im on a console I have no 
trouble getting stdin stdout and
stderr where I want them.
