It can be different for each process.
Look at /proc/NNNN for the process of interest.
Since the first three file are standard in (0), out (1), err (2)
$ ls -l /proc/26670/fd
total 8
lr-x------ 1 mitch mitch 64 Sep 30 16:36 0 -> /dev/null
l-wx------ 1 mitch mitch 64 Sep 30 16:36 1 -> pipe:[14054]
l-wx------ 1 mitch mitch 64 Sep 30 16:36 2 -> pipe:[14054]
lrwx------ 1 mitch mitch 64 Sep 30 16:36 3 -> socket:[203653]
So in this case the out and err are tossed into a FIFO
that is not inspected. Use "lsof" to see what plays with the pipe...
BTW if the "Run in terminal" box is check (see right mouse --> properties)
for a desktop icon the console/terminal output has a place to go and
be observed. Useful for debugging....
