The -ls option does not do the right thing if -e is also specified to
execute a command, because xterm does an execvp _before_ the shell (bash
in this case) can read the system and user profiles. This breaks (for
example)
xterm -ls -e trn
because the environment is not set up properly.

Since xterm 4.2.1-8 at the latest (and probably for several package
releases before that) the xterm manpage has said the following:
-ls This option indicates that the shell that is started in =
the
xterm window will be a login shell (i.e., the first charac=
ter
of argv[0] will be a dash, indicating to the shell that=
it
should read the user's .login or .profile).
Note that this is incompatible with -e, since the login prog=
ram
does not provide a way to specify the command to run in the =
new
shell. If you specify both, xterm uses -ls.
Closing this report.
