Frank,
Not to discount any of the problem's background, but it almost appears as if ${PATH} became mangled for the X startup scripts.
How are you starting X? [GDM, XDM, KDM, or startx]
If you use GDM, what session are you using? Can you include its exact name? [Default System Session, GNOME, ion3]
Do you have any custom X startup script? ${HOME}/.Xclients ${HOME}/.xinitrc ${HOME}/.xsession
Would you be willing to edit ``/etc/profile'' above line 17, where ``id'' is called and add ``echo MY_PATH: ${PATH}''
Include that output in a response.
You'll probably want to comment that echo line after you're done diagnosing.
