I'd put 'echo $PATH' in startx to see what it's being set to.

Did you downgrade from 2.7.1_rcX to 2.7.0? This is a known issue with the 2.7.0 pkg which prevents downgrading to it. I have a workaround that will be in the 2.7.1 package, but for 2.7.0, you'll need to delete XQuartz.app before doing the downgrade.
