There must be something different in your own localhost version of this module vs. the released code, because following the installation instructions for 6.x.-1.0 causes the $messages to show up on the page twice!

I pasted your example php from the installation instructions:

  <?php if ($show_messages && $messages): ?>
      <div id='console'>
        <?php if ($show_messages && $messages): print $messages; endif; ?>
      </div>
    <?php endif; ?>

Into the page.tpl.php of my custom Blueprint subtheme, wrote a basic drupal_set_message('You have made an error!', ''error'); into the template.php's template_preprocess_page() function, and then refreshed my browser two times. I see the messages being printed to the page AND into the <div id="console">

I then tried some troubleshooting, such as commented out the original place where I had been printing the $messages, but they still show up twice. How were you planning to neuter the $messages array so that it didn't get printed to the page, but only to the console div?

Hey Joel, you need to comment the print messages out in the original place where the messages appear in all page*.tpl.php files. Sorry if I wasn't clear about that. I want to try to find a more elegant solution, but I thought this was a good starting place.

I'll see if I can find a better way to neuter the messages before they get to the page template.

See, that's just the thing. The *only* print $messages; on the page is the one from your instructions. I don't see anything in the module, the js, or the CSS that would alter this bahavior, so I'm stymied.

Please explain the theory of how it's supposed to work?

You can hide the original messages box:

  <?php if ($show_messages && $messages): ?>
      <div id='console' style='display:none;'>
        <?php if ($show_messages && $messages): print $messages; endif; ?>
      </div>
    <?php endif; ?>

please don't set it to fixed, unless the maintainer has merged this into his code.
Thanks for the fix, haven't test it though..
