Eric Hoch mentioned the differences between Terminal an xterm running
under X11. 
If you launch xterm with the command xterm -l (login shell), you will
have exactly the same search-path as in Terminal.  The default terminal
which X11 opens is launched as xterm, thus the difference in $PATH. 
I added an xterm -l to the Applications menu, and use that for
compilations, runnint LaTeX, xemacs (which broke under OS 10.4), etc.
