So, I don't know exactly why my machine is different, but the standard
/etc/athena/login/config didn't work on my machine.  On my machine, the
X server, /usr/X11R6/bin/X, points to Xwrapper.  So, I had to change

	/usr/X11R6/bin/X vt07
 to
	/usr/X11R6/bin/X :0.0

Now it works.

EXCEPT...  Many of the xlogin options don't work.  For example, it
still has Techinfo, which doesn't even exist anymore!  Clicking on
olh, or pretty much anything else, will cause xlogin to exit.

More as I (or heather) find it.
