Description of problem:

xterm is installed setgid utempter.  This means that any LD_CONFIG_PATH set in 
a user's .profile or .bash_profile is destroyed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

xterm-225-2.fc7

How reproducible:

Add LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/some/path to .profile.  Exec xterm from a login shell.  
Check environment.

Steps to Reproduce:

1.

$ tail -n2 .profile
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/peter/opt/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_TEST=/foo/bar

2.

$ (exec -l /bin/sh -c "env | grep LD")
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/peter/opt/lib:
LD_TEST=/foo/bar

3.

$ (exec -l /bin/sh -c "exec xterm -geometry 80x24-0-0")


4. In new xterm window:

$ env | grep LD
LD_TEST=/foo/bar
