I believe there's no need for neither login-shells nor those X-level
tricks. To load the interactive environment into xterms or screen, I
usually to define ENV accordingly in /etc/profile or .profile. Not sure
it's the right way to also put PATH in (k)shrc, but it would also work.

/etc/profile: export ENV=/etc/shrc

or

~/.profile: export ENV=/root/.shrc
