I would've filed one earlier, but I honestly thought I must be missing 
something obvious :)

Is my thinking correct that this should be taken care of in the script 
/etc/xdm/Xsession (which is sourced by gdm and kdm  as well as xdm) by 
having #!/bin/bash -l as the first line to invoke bash as a login shell? 
But then again, this would be the wrong behaviour for someone whose 
default shell was tcsh?

Anyway, shall I file a bug report against xorg-X11, or against a 
different component?

Cheers,
J.
