login shell or not



Hello,

When I start an Xterm, I can quit the window only but with "exit" ( doing "logout" explicitly says "not login shell" ).
I am surprised - shouldn't I be ?
Because when I start a Terminal session, I can quit the window doing a "logout" ( "exit" do it also ) - but I am not surprised, as I understand in both cases I am running login shells. I was wrong ? how ? and why this difference ?


Cheers.

Francis Derive
