Now when I launch xterm it sees the .profile, same as Terminal.app.
All the apps launch fine (thanks for all the gimp tips from everyone) without me having to manually type /sw/bin anymore.
I've not seen any problems, so I think it's all okay.
Thanks again for all the help and the multitude of responses!

I'm afraid all the bash talk is driving me batty. :) Sorry, but it's all clear as mud; the man page doesn't explain to me why Terminal.app will launch the apps fine in Apple's X11 but the xterm in X11 requires me to type /sw/bin/****
Have you tried launching xterm with the '-ls' option? That will ensure that the shell used in the xterm is a login shell (i.e., run your login script will be run). Assuming that solves your problem, you may want to change any xterm-related entries is .xinitrc, window manager menus, etc., to be sure this occurs for every xterm you launch.
