Thanks to all who responded.  I actually solved the problem somewhat
before the responses started coming in,  but I appreciate them all the
same.  What I did was to have the .xsession file source my .login file
and then run .xinitrc under $SHELL.  What I would have liked is a version
of exec with an option to run its argument modified to be a 'login' shell.
Alas.

Thanks again.
