I think that the best option would be to give proper instructions in your
.Xdefaults or .Xresources file. Mine has (among many other things):
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
XTerm*loginShell: off
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Although these are settings for xterm, what I use today is rxvt-unicode.
Highly recommended for those that want a nice terminal emulator.
In my case, though, I just linked my .bashrc to my .bash_profile, as I
usually want both login and non-login shells to have the same behaviour
(so, I can live without telling any xterm-like program to work with a login
shell).
Hope this helps, Rogério.
P.S.: Was it you that studied with Prof. Paulo Agozzini?
