What were you trying to do?
	I had just logged on, when

What's wrong:
	suddenly I saw the message "Session initialization completed."

What should have happened:
	However, my session initialization was not completed, so I thought this
was odd.  It should have waited until my session initialization was completed
before saying "Session initialization completed."

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	I noticed that in /usr/athena/lib/init/xsession, it says
"source ~/.startup.X &".  I can't imagine why the "&", unless for some
efficiency reason that makes everything run faster, in which case ignore this
bug report.  It just seemed odd.
