St runs an interactive shell and not a login shell, and it means that profile is not loaded. The default terminal configuration in some system is not the correct for st, but since profile is not loaded there is no way of getting a script configures the correct values. St doesn't update the utmp files, this is the job of another suckless tool, utmp. Utmp also opens a login shell (it is the logical behaviour when you create a new user record) it is a good option execute utmp and then get a correct input in utmp, wtmp and lastlog file, and execute the content of the profile.
