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.
