Unfortunately I don't know that a shell login argument is portable. I think -l is specific to bash, but even --login doesn't work for dash (the default /bin/sh on Ubuntu IIRC).
Patch actually developed and tested on Ubuntu.
Maybe yours is Bash then.
A while ago I saw: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh
And my dash-0.5.4-2.fc8 doesn't seem to have a login argument.
Anyway, I saw the xprofile messages so I'll leave this.
