> And then there the orthogonal issue of Apps launched from the Finder which get PATH from launchd and for which neither path_helper nor shell startup files help. Once upon a time, I hacked a solution with a daemon watching .bashrc and friends to keep the PATH of the shell and that of launchd in synch but eventually I gave up and just launched the PATH-sensitive Apps with "open" from the Terminal.

Ok, how do you adjust launchd's concept of PATH?

Anything that I can find to adjust launchD requires running launchctl, which is done after logging in, after apps have started up.
