{k,}telnetd and {k,}rlogind are started by inetd, and indeed not by a
shell. But they don't do anything but run login or start a shell anyway,
so that doesn't matter. sshd is started by /etc/init.d/ssh, which is a
sh-scripts so gets the environment correct. xdm also starts everything via
sh-scripts and knows where the rest is, so that's also no problem. I still
don't see your problem.
