So, why not just open x11.app and then open an xterm in it? That's
what I do every day, no problems. As to the login shell pux
"xterm*loginShell: true" in your .Xresources file and, assuming the
"xrdb merge" in the xinit files doesn't hang on you indefinitely, you
should get a login shell in each of your xterms.
