martin f krafft previously posted a bug against kdm and there has been
some discussion logged.  I just posted a summary of the various d-u
discussions there.

I like the technique of using #!/bin/bash for Xsession and then using
'exec -l' to start the shell.  It seems like a better solution than
~/.xsession using a login shell.  It promotes compatibility between
distros.  It solves a long running problem for newbies.  It loads the
login environment regardless of using [gkx]dm 'default' or selecting a
specific window manager.
