a while ago i announced and introduced a modification to the devel_0_37 branch which implements the ability to hook the console output - it's a mechanism that allows multiple listeners (via callbacks) to eavesdrop on the printouts. Is there any specific reason why you didn't take on this patch? Your widget could easily use it, while leaving open other forms of console output. The respective API functions of devel_0_37 are sys_addprinthook and sys_rmprinthook.
Good question. The reason is that enough messages get posted around here that I often delete many quite quickly, and sometimes I miss something interesting, thinking it's not.
Besides, I don't use devel_0_37, because I don't know what are the several branches of Pd, how they relate to each other, what are the differences, and which one I should use.
If your patch is complete, then it would be a good idea to use it in a future version of mine, as there are many stderr messages I don't actually handle at all. I think many/most error messages still get sent to stderr...
