So, thanks again to everyone who responded, its truly appreciated.

how
to lock-in the effect of the DISPLAY=:0.0 statement and make its effect
permanent. (fingers-crossed!) Thanks!
It looks to me like it may not be an X11 problem. The fact that you are
able to run X11 apps from the Terminal.app and the fact that you are
able to run xterm on a process other than the shell suggest to me that
both X11 and xterm are functioning just fine. The problem seems to be
running bash in the xterm. At this point I cannot think what the
problem might be but will give it more thought. With regards to the
DISPLAY setting: the DISPLAY variable tells X11 apps which X server to
connect to. Setting it for the Terminal.app shells enables you to run
X11 apps from there--it will not solve the xterm problem.
It seems like now you have a working X11 setup and can start X11 apps
from the Terminal.app shell (with setting DISPLAY) but that your xterm
is not running bash.
please try:
1. start X11
2. start a Terminal.app shell
3. execute:
DISPLAY=:0.0 xterm -hold -e /bin/bash --noprofile -i
4. if the shell runs in the new xterm try:
echo $PATH
/bin/ls /
Good luck,
Simon
