I am not sure what the right solution is here.  I feel that this is a
broken configuration and ought to respond fix your .bashrc.  I could
append some common paths to the X11 binaries to PATH but it won't work
for all scenarios and then where does it stop?  Maybe you can provide
a convincing argument one way or the other (or come up with a better
solution).

Thanks,
Neal
