Support for starting xterm from /etc/ttys is being discontinued from
both the MIT and DEC releases of X.  You should use xdm or dxsession
instead.  I use dxsession, as it is more powerful.  You can specify
both a terminal emulator (xterm or DECterm) and a window manager (uwm
or dxwm or whatever) for dxsession through your .Xdefaults file.
