There is no way of suppressing status messages of the login status from
appearing in the Console window except to have your own .xsession.
Neither is there any form of ".hushlogin" that used to exist in the days
of /bin/login (well, perhaps there is some in xlogin). Perhaps the
existence of this file should be used to determine whether status
messages should be printed. Of course, you would not want to access
this file lots of times, so cache the state of it in the beginning in a
SHELL variable and use the shell variable to determine whether to echo
lines or not...
