If I launch XQuartz with "startx" at the terminal, my window manager inherits 
env variables from my /etc/bashrc

If I launch XQuartz by clicking the XQuartz icon, or from the Dock, or by 
launching an app that invokes X11, the window manager has different env 
variables passed than from /etc/bashrc. Among other things, PATH is missing 
/usr/local/bin which is causing things to fail. 

I changed my .xinitrc to just run xterm, without a wm, and I ran 'env' within 
that xterm. The env variables were not from /etc/bashrc, and PATH is missing 
/usr/local/bin.

Seems like launchd is not passing my env variables from /etc/bashrc. Docs say 
that launchd should pass them.

Maybe there is a problem with my config, but I don't know where to look. I 
haven't modified anything in XQuartz. 

Suggestions?
