That'd be because you're not running a login shell in the xterm.

Tre changing your incantation to say, instead of:

	... xterm ...

to say:

	... xterm -ls ...

and see what happens.

Well, it's one louder, isn't it?  It's not ten.  You see, most blokes are
gonna be playing at ten, you're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up,
all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar, where can you go from there?
Where?  Nowhere, exactly.  What we do is, if we need that extra push over the
cliff, you know what we do?  Eleven.  Exactly.  One louder.
