st isn't spawning the shell as a login shell. Normal terminals have an X
resource to tell it you want a login shell, but st doesn't believe in
runtime-settable configuration options.
Doesn't look like it can be passed directly via the SHELL environment
variable either, looks like it just wants a filename without any command
line option.
You could do "st -e ksh -l" but that would be an annoying way to do it..
Maybe a wrapper script?
