This is probably a bad idea.  Everytime you get a login shell,
.login tries to start an X server.  The default behavior in
3.3.2 is for an X server to be run at startup for you (depending
on chkconfig- see xstart(1), which goes away in 4.0).  Your
xinit may be attempting to start another server (which will 
block until the first server dies, then try to start).
