/bin/login is for console logins, telnetd, and I think rshd. sshd doesn't use it (but there's a patch to sshd). X logins use an X program, options include xdm, kdm, gdm, and many others. I intend to develop a patch for kdm after getting everything else working (if no-one beats me to it).

Initially using startx after logging in on the console is easiest.

?dm programs for X login are complex, have lots of features, and generally have code that's been hacked on by 100 people and is not easy to modify. :(
