This isn't terribly useful on multiuser systems where different users  
have different shells.  My shell is zsh, and with rc3 I was able to  
get a reasonable if not perfect login environment, for example an  
xterm with my preferred fonts.  With rc4 (making no other changes), I  
get a stock xterm until I replace bash with zsh in the above-mentioned  
script.

Once I replaced bash with zsh, I also had some issues with X11 hanging  
after the initial xterm opened, though once I started trying to  
isolate it, it disappeared.  I'm not really sure what's happening  
here, but here's a sample:
