But the .profile (like .login) is only executed when using a
login-shell and if I would use xdm, those xterm-shells would never
see any profile/login! I know the difference, because I tried it
without `-ls' :)

Using vt100 in the console is quite... depressing... But all that
can't be the real problem, because the problem also occurs when I am
using a telnet session on our HPs, which *definitely* have a working
termcap!
