I don't think this will do the trick. The PATH from sourcing /sw/bin/init.sh in .xinitrc doesn't get passed on to the Apple X11 Applications menu. That's why the documents say to source it for each entry (I did an experiment to verify this).
I vaguely remember that Martin Costabel had a workaround which involved editing a script within the X11.app bundle, but I don't know the details. Alexander K.

It does not launch from the menu because you do not have /sw/bin in your path. Make sure you have /sw/bin/ in your path and it will launch. /sw/bin/gnucash is a script which puts /sw/lib/gnucash/overrides at the front of your path and exec's gnucash there. That gnucash script sets some more env vars and tries to exec guile-1.6, if /sw/bin is not in your path, guile-1.6 will not be found. I will make sure to instead launch /sw/bin/guile-1.6 is a future revision of gnucash for fink. However, you should have /sw/bin in your path. This is worth repeating, you should have /sw/bin in your path. Use a .xinitrc with Apple's X11 to set up your paths.
