I'm curious why you removed maildir-support and zsh-secure-free as flags to configure? I understand that you are saying the etcdir, zshenv, zlogin, zlogout, and zshrc have zsh not read /etc/profile for some reason or another, but I don't understand why you'd remove free() checking and maildir support..
Don't worry about this. I did not remove those options for any reason; I just played around with compiling zsh. And those options are not relevant for my problem.
And I've never gotten /etc/profile to be read in bash or zsh when I don't use a login shell, that's why my default for screen and urxvt are to open login shells for zsh.
I am a bit confused. If I use bash as my default shell, I can use xterm, Konsole etc. without any problems. E.g. locale is set correctly and I can read and write "umlauts". Does xterm and co automatically use a login shell when using bash? Does bash propagate some global settings like LANG and INPUTRC even when not used as a login shell and zsh does not do this?
