Depending on how one starts xterm it may not be a login shell. In
fact, in general xterm will not launch with a login shell unless you
include the '-ls' argument. So, if bash is the shell, /etc/profile and
~/.bash_profile are not read, although .bashrc is. Which files does
Aquamacs read for setting the path?
