You need to edit /etc/default/login and add the line ALTSHELL=YES
to tell login that it is OK to put your real shell's name into
the environment instead of pretending it is something else.

Now what I'd like is a way to (a) automatically start up an assortment
of things on the different VT's when I log in, and (b) a way to
access them (saved screen and all) from a dial-up or network login.
