For many years, I've had (among other things)
XTerm*loginShell: true
in my ~/.Xdefaults file. This makes sure xterm runs the shell as a login shell regardless of how it is launched. If you use this, be sure to restart X prior to testing it.
I believe you could add the line to your ~/.Xresources file, and issue the command xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources in your ~/.xinitrc or at the command line to add the resource for any user without having to restart the X server. The resource values become available when the next instance of XTerm (or any complying application) launches. -- Dr. Robert Delius Royar Associate Professor of English Morehead State University Morehead, Kentucky
