Why? The previous version in MacPorts worked OK, it inherited $PATH and I could use AUCTeX. Carbon Emacsen or the Cocoa variant Emacs.app of GNU Emacs 23.0.90 all inherit the correct environment and are useful applications. Is X11.app no Mac OS X application?
X11.app is, but not startx or ~/.xinitrc. If you start your X11 clients from the X11 "Applications" menu, they will get your shell environment. The same is true for the program executed as "app_to_run" when X11.app starts up. But if you start X clients from ~/.xinitrc, they will only see the environment that is handed down from launchd, not the one from X11.app. -- Martin
