This worked fine, but only the first time my wm launched an xterm.

Good idea, thank you! I changed the login shell via the NetInfoManager,
not without testing if it is possible to restore it from another
account. But still if this failed, the Aqua-Terminal is robust and
chooses the "normal" /bin/bash if it can't find the new one.
By the way, the login via GUI was not influenced by these experiments.

Thanks a lot,
