The ancestry of the shell in the inital xterm (as shown by ps l) is
bash xterm login X11 launchd launchd (process 1)
Where is the login shell?
It probably execed the xterm...
The full login command is /usr/bin/login -fp richard /bin/sh -c /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm /bin/sh appears to be bash, but it's not the same as /bin/bash and it doesn't run either .bashrc or .bash_login. Presumably it's bash compiled in standard-Posix mode, or something like that. -- Richard -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.
