Bad style, sorry. Better:
source /sw/bin/init.sh && /sw/bin/xmms
OK.
that way, we're not relying on $PATH, there's no chance a malicious
attacker can place an executeable called xmms into $PATH before the
actual xmms,
Even in your paranoid nightmares, this cannot happen: init.sh places
/sw/bin at the beginning of the PATH.

The latter (init.sh) is dependent on $SHELL, btw.
I don't quite know what you mean by this. It doesn't depend on the
user's login shell, in any case. The X11 Application menu always uses
sh, even though the user may have the default tcsh as login shell.
