OK, I'll remove the path setting at the moment. Current PATH is ok since
/usr/X11/bin is added for xscreensaver.
Adding /usr/gnu/bin might be another discussion.

My understanding is, DISPLAY=:0 and DISPLAY=unix:0 is no problem but
DISPLAY=hostname:0 was a problem and it's not clear if we still need the
workaround.
I don't try to set up TX environment now since my GDM is the trunk instead of
GDM 2.20 base.
Probably I think it's better to modify the case of DISPLAY=hostname:0* at the
moment.
