The trouble is I do not know what the login sequence is when logging

It's not only X itself, it's the whole desktop environment. In principle
you can follow the breadcrumbs via the man pages, but this line
(in /etc/profile etc.) will add more info to your debug comments and
might be useful:
echo This shell called from `ps -p $PPID -o comm=`, pid=$PPID >> /tmp/BASH_DEBUG
At runlevel 5, if I switch to a virtual console and log in, then both
variables are set correctly.
Since I'm a bit stumped as to where to go from here, but it definitely
seems that something 'odd' is going on, I think perhaps this should go
up to bugzilla?
Could be. It certainly doesn't seem to be doing what it says on the tin.

Are you running gnome ? Have you set "Run command as a login shell" in your
profile for gnome-terminal ?
