Hello,

I just switched our uVaxen from decwindows to pure MIT X11R3.  I have a few
questions about xdm.  I used the setup specified in the xdm man page.

1)	Is there a way for xterms to inherit the environment from the 1st
	xterm?  Using the old /etc/ttys way of starting up xwindows the login
	xterm would source .login.  Subsequent xterms seem to inherit the
	environment from the 1st xterm.  Using xdm it seems as though I will
	have to force each xterm to source .login by putting in xterm -ls in my
	.uwmrc/.twmrc.  Is this true?

2)	Is there a way to catch console output....a la ultrix's xcons.

3)	twm seems much slowerrrr....


Thanks,

Keith
