So the standard .login file says:

# This file sources a system-wide .login file, which:
#      - presumes that the .cshrc file has been sourced
#      - performs standard setups appropriate for tty session
#      - runs standard startup activities (e.g., check mail)
#      - source user file ~/.startup.tty, if it exists

# If you want to ADJUST the login initialization sequence, create a
# .startup.tty file in your home directory, with commands to run activities
# once the environment has been set up (znol, emacs, etc.).

This should probably say something more like "put tty-specific things
in .startup.tty and X specific stuff in .startup.X."
