Except possibly for the first one; there is a race condition here,
which is usually "won" by the first X application, in the sense that
it will initialize itself before the xinit script has the chance to
read the .Xresources file. Very annoying, and I am not sure what can
be done about it.

Another way to get a login shell is to run  xterm -ls  from Terminal.
