It seems that if you create a user and that user's homedir during the
installation process, the user gets a .Xclient file.  In the .Xclient file,
there's:

#!/bin/bash

xterm &

if [ ! -z $(type -path oclock) ]; then
        oclock -geometry +0+0 &
else
        xclock -geometry +0+0 &
fi

if [ ! -z $(type -path fvwm) ]; then
        exec fvwm
else
        exec twm
fi


This causes problems such as intead of login info coming up in he console
window, it comes up in the xterm that is called by the users .Xclient file.
Also, with this file present, .startup.X (and perhaps other files) does not
seem to be sourced.
