Yeah, OpenBSD ksh too, that's not an issue, but how to get ST to
spawn a login shell, e.g. from Xterm manpage:

loginShell (class LoginShell)
    Specifies whether or not the shell to be run in the window should
    be started as a login shell. The default is "false".

I didn't manage to get this going via `config.h`:

    /*
     * What program is execed by st depends of these precedence rules:
     * 1: program passed with -e
     * 2: scroll and/or utmp
     * 3: SHELL environment variable
     * 4: value of shell in /etc/passwd
     * 5: value of shell in config.h
     */

Tried options 1, 3 and 5, but even if some of them work, they are
low in precedence list... Any ideas?
