No. That's not 2 logins. It's two things (a console shell and
a whole X session) spawned from the same login:
You logged in once. Your login-time settings were set once. You might
have changed some environment variables from your login default before
you started X (or when you started X, as in "SOME_VAR=somevalue startx &").
You don't necessarily want starting X to re-apply your login-time
settings when you start X when you have already logged in.
