I just ran a test, too, and I do see the env vars from 
~/.MacOSX/environment.plist transmitted to the commands run from the 
Applications menu. If X11.app is started from the Dock or by clicking on 
the icon in /Applications/Utilitities, these are the only env vars 
present. If it is started automatically by running an X client, it gets 
additionally the env vars defined by bash startup scripts.

How did you start your X11.app?
