This is a well-know fact. Therefore I have created ~/.MacOSX/ 
environment.plist.

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?
