In lieu of all the complaints about quick login, why don't we
have quick login run a session file (in lib/init) that simply
load X resources, starts zwgc and puts up an xterm -name
<something published>?
The Xresources are important especially with the time-to-live
stuff added to zephyr since people can control many aspects of
their zephyr behavior with X resources. Also, putting a name on
the xterm would allow people to specify where their quick login
xterm should go. Doing these things would not slow down the
quick login very much at all and would be two very easy things
that could be done that would make it much more usable. As a
pleasant side effect (and this is all I consider it), this then
could even support people who sometimes use public workstations
as display servers.
