There's a program called wlogin in MiNTos (or there was in the last
version _I_ looked in!) which sets things up for a window to be used as
a login shell.  You don't actually have to run it in a window, though;
it works just as well from the console.  wlogin starts up a login
process and waits for it to die rather like init does.  When you log
out though, it just updates the ?tmp files and exits.  I think this
must be what you want.
