.xsession is generally used for xdm - you can change this if you want

This doesn't address your specific question, but what about this:
I assume that when your wife uses linux, she normally logs in from the
console (on one of the text mode consoles), and occasionally then
wishes to run a few X applications. If so, then she can just do:

You should check out fetchmail - it connects to an IMAP or POP server
and retrieves your mail, then delivers it via SMTP to localhost;
essentially it takes mail on the server and causes it to become mail
on the local system, so that any filtering you then have on the local
system will work.

Well, I went and used the autoup script for upgrading bo -> hamm.
I ran into some problems, which, I suspect, were caused by my
custom-compiled bash 2.01 package. As I know that some people on this
list used that package, since I made it publicly available, I'm
putting this warning out to people:
