However, if you run xdm instead of Xprompter you can do something like
the following and assuming xdm runs a csh script called ~/.xsession:
In ~/.xsession:

!#/bin/csh
source .csh_env
dxsession

In .csh_env put all your appropriate setenv's.  If you start mwm and
a dxterm in .xsession instead of dxsession, mwm will inherit the
environment.  I don't know for sure that dxsession will but I believe
so.
