What more would I need in my $PATH besides the defaults
(/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin etc)? Perhaps you misunderstand, it isn't that
programs refuse to load from xterm with the warning "not found" and then
the xterm goes back to the shell prompt. Instead, the xterm just hangs
open without going back to a prompt as if the application has in fact
opened, although it doesn't appear on the screen, and the hard disk
doesn't make much noise, so it seems the program is somehow killed
before it gets a chance to load.

However, let me know if there are any directories that must be in $PATH
for Gnome 2 to work.
