Terminal should call login instead of /bin/sh #25

Terminal.app should probably execute /bin/login -f root instead of /bin/sh
this will properly setup the env vars, and run the .bashrc scripts on startup.

Alternatively you could just call login without arguments and force a
login.   And a possible third alternative is log them in as user mobile and
make you su to gain root access therefore secure against evildooers :)

The current SVN revision calls /bin/login

/bin/login -f root won't work for me, asks for a password.

I'm worried that this isn't user friendly enough. Some people don't know about 
the root:dottie thing.
