Frank,

Not to discount any of the problem's background, but it almost appears as if ${PATH} became mangled for the X startup scripts.

How are you starting X? [GDM, XDM, KDM, or startx]

If you use GDM, what session are you using? Can you include its exact name? [Default System Session, GNOME, ion3]

Do you have any custom X startup script? ${HOME}/.Xclients ${HOME}/.xinitrc ${HOME}/.xsession

Would you be willing to edit ``/etc/profile'' above line 17, where ``id'' is called and add ``echo MY_PATH: ${PATH}''

Include that output in a response.

You'll probably want to comment that echo line after you're done diagnosing.
