Not all shells accept --login

I use tcsh (compiled and installed manually).

The terminal appears to expect the existence of a --login argument, but it is not a given that a shell, even if it’s a login shell, would have this option. I assume that there are other shells which are missing this.

Indeed, tcsh accepts -l and not --login whereas fish and bash accept both, and busybox doesn’t accept either.

Figure out a solution.

I think the solution is the free-form "Startup shell" field where the user can enter any arguments needed. Closing as "figured out" :)

On second look, the --login is assumed in the source code, so this need a fix.
