That's all true but logging in to OS neXt - Aqua - does none of those things. Neither does starting up X11 from the Finder.
Environment variables can be set on login to Aqua using $HOME/.MacOSX/environment.plist (More on Apple.com. Ask if you'd like a sample.)
Everything you do there must be absolute. No adding an item to an existing $PATH.
Also watch out for /etc/csh.login. As delivered by Apple it overlays - not adds to - any $PATH you have set up before. My recommendation is just to toss it out. It is executed as Terminal.app is started up if your default shell is tcsh. It is not executed on startup of a BBEdit worksheet or from an AppleScript. X11 might be using it. Is a shell started from X11 a "login" shell?
