Aha.  I think I'm getting somewhere.

If I run xterm with the -e option, regardless of -ls being present or
not, the shell used to spawn the -e command is *NOT* a login shell.

This way, when I run:

	xterm			=> not login shell

	xterm -ls		=> login shell

	xterm -e /bin/sh	=> not login shell

	xterm -ls -e /bin/sh	=> not login shell either

So it's not the -ls option that is causing your aterm windows to be
non-login shells, but it looks like it is the -e option that does this.
