Well how do you know that .cshrc is not sourced now? I would just
put "echo .cshrc" on top of the .cshrc and echo .login on top of
.login and see what happens when opening xterm, xfce4-terminal
and logging in from a console.
On my system it works and I get ".cshrc" as expected, when enabling
a login shell in xfce4-terminal I also see ".login".
