There are no special pathnames for TX. It is apparently a mistake to
have sfw in the path. Probably it should be /usr/gnu/bin.
Both of these (DISPLAY and PATH) settings are workarounds for bugs that
should be fixed elsewhere. There really should be no special DISPLAY
required since UNIX domain (DISPLAY=:0) is supposed to work. I'm not
sure if it is still broken in the latest build. I also don't know where
the standard PATH is set for GNOME sessions.
