In that case, can you please tell me what is printed when you run that  
command, and can you tell me what "the same story" is?  This should  
cache your fonts and avoid the "can't find font 'fixed'" issue that  
you had before (you should now be able to run '/usr/X11/bin/Xquartz : 
0').

As for the login behavior... login is a very old command that behaves  
in a standards-defined way.  If you look in that man page again,  
you'll notice this usage at the top:

login -f [-lpq] [-h hostname] [user [prog [args...]]]

That is the usage that is being used via:

>>   \-+- 25997 root /usr/bin/login -fp pete /bin/sh -c /usr/X11/bin/ 
>> startx
>>          \-+= 25998 pete -tcsh

>>              \--- 26006 root ps -axwwo user

so the prog being run upon login is '/bin/sh' with two args: '-c' and  
'/usr/X11/bin/startx'

What happens, btw, if you just run 'bash --login' ? Do you get a bash  
prompt or a tcsh prompt?  Please provide the pstree for that process.
