when i login, i like having the fortune pop up too.  however, i have
found that it pops up wheneverthe profile script gets called, which
includes finds in kde, as well as starting xterm.  here is a simple
fix.  add this to the bottom of ~/.bash_profile.  now it only comes up
when you first login to terminals 1-6.

TERMINAL=tty | grep /dev/tty
if $TERMINAL; then
  echo; /usr/games/fortune; echo
fi
