What happens when you enter "echo $PATH" in terminal? is it different
in Xterm? did you set Fink up to use bash or tcsh?

I have just installed the latest binary version of the GNOME

Existing entries with these names or numbers will be overwritten or
otherwise affected by this. On the other hand, some Fink packages will
not work unless these entries are in the NetInfo database. You can
make
adjustments to the files /sw/etc/passwd-fink and
/sw/etc/group-fink now (from another window), then say yes here. Or
you can say no here and add the users and groups manually (e.g. on
your
central NetInfo server). If you don't know what all of this is about,
just say yes.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

Done."
I chose "yes", as I didn't think I had any apps that were affected
by the above, but when I try to start the GNOME desktop with
XDroplets, I get the message that "gnome" doesn't appear in my
path. Bash returns "bash: gnome: command not found" regarless of
whether I try 'gnome' 'run gnome' or 'start gnome'. My "old" GNOME
based apps like AbiWord, StarDict, Gedit, etc. still work fine, so
I am having a hard time finding what the problem is. Anyone have
any ideas?
Cheers,
Brian
