The new user account will not run NetBeans from the Terminal (using
the
command open "/Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans 6.1.app") either. I
tried with
the account initially set as Standard and then as an Administrator.
This result strongly suggests that something added to the shell
profile for your regular account is causing NetBeans to work when
launched from the Terminal command-line. A new account has no
bash .profile (or any other shell setup) beyond any shared defaults.
In other words, the default outcome is for NetBeans to crash, for
some reason, and something in your shell profile is causing it to not
crash.
Since you already noted there isn't a /Users/gnunes/.MacOSX/
environment.plist file, that leaves only the shell profile.
Bash may read any of:
~/.bash_profile
~/.bash_login
~/.profile
It may also read files designated by $ENV or $BASH_ENV.
For details, read the "INVOCATION" section of the bash man page.
You can use the 'env' command to disable the current shell
environment for a command. Read the man page for env for details.
You can also execute commands with specific env-var overrides.
pathx=`sysctl -n user.cs_path`;
PATH="$pathx" open "/Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans 6.1.app"
I recommend setting suspected variables to either empty or defaults,
one by one, and when the command-line fails to launch NetBeans, then
that's the significant one.

Mike,
Additional info regarding the results of (2):
The new user account will not run NetBeans from the Terminal (using the
command open "/Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans 6.1.app") either. I
tried with
the account initially set as Standard and then as an Administrator.
The crash log is similar to that generated when trying a Finder launch.
