The trick is not very simple. To have full control over your environment variables, like $PATH, you need the file environment.plist in the ~/.MacOSX directory. Here's my environment.plist. Please adjust it to your settings, because using it unmodified is asking for trouble. After changing it, you need to log out an log in to effectuate those changes.
environment.plist

However, this method can interfere with desktop apps that want some default library, instead one on your modified path. So what I do most of the time is to open a Terminal.app and issue the `open /Applications/Emacs.app' command. This gives me a GUI Emacs with terminal environment. HTH, Arjan
