I have another way of making my window manager run with a customised
environment,

~/.xsession

#!/bin/sh
HOST="@`hostname`"
xrdb $HOME/.Xdefaults
XLOGIN=1
export XLOGIN
exec xterm -ls -geometry  80x24+0-0  -T "LOGIN$HOST" -n "LOGIN$HOST"


and at the end of ~/.login

if ( $?XLOGIN ) then
	unsetenv XLOGIN
	# set a local csh variable for my critical shell
	set ignoreeof
	(setenv LEVEL 0 ; uwm >& /tmp/uwmlog$$ & \
	echo ; xhost + & \
	xterm -ls -geometry  80x45+0+0  -T $ME@$THISHOST -n $ME@$THISHOST & \
	xclock -g 100x100-0+0 & \
	xbiff -g 100x50-0+100 & \
	xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap & \
	xset fp /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/ & )
endif


It's not perfect but it works for me.
