What I care about is the environment transmitted to the programs run by the Applications menu of X11.
It worked for you, Martin, because you had set up a reasonable environment with ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist. (For next login you can just rename the file.) This one was passed to the clients. And some clients, like xterm, are allowed to launch with a login shell or a shell like in Terminal. Without ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist X clients have only a very rudimentary environment. With some trickery you can have some success – but texdoctk will never run and work completely. This finally made me create my little suite of scripts. -- Greetings Pete The light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off due to budget cuts.
