by *identical*, do you mean after logging into xdm, the system shuts
down xorg and has you sitting there logged in at a virtual terminal?
Or do you mean equivalent to logging in at the console and running
startx? Seems like since login can be via a console, terminal, ssh,
etc., the effect of logging in with login and xdm have to (or at least
should) be different. Or is this a session / bashprofile issue?
