It is true that xsession does not read your shell configuration files.
You can use the following trick to cause your .profile and .kshrc files
to be read:

hpterm -T emacs -n emacs -e ksh -c ". ~/.profile ; . ~/.kshrc ; exec emacs"

Try hooking this command line up to your emacs button on the control panel.
