Check your $HOME/.dtprofile file. There is probably a line that looks
like this:

export dtstart_sessionlogfile="/dev/null"

Above this should be some comments explaining that application output
will be sent to the above file. Changing "/dev/null" to "/dev/console"
should redirect the application output to your console (after you
restart).
