X11 and GUI FAQ

I can't login in with Scologin; my shell is bash or tcsh

You need to look in /usr/lib/X11/scologin. There you will find several Xsession files: Xseesion-sh, Xsession-csh and Xsession-ksh. You need to create one for your shell. These are very simple files that just set some environment variables and test for a fail-safe login, so you can usually just copy something similar. To use bash, for example, you could copy Xsession-sh to Xsession-bash.
