As for where you pickup the path, what is your shell? There will be
specific files in /etc/ and your home directory that will add to your
path. See your shell man page for info on this.

What is your display manager? GDM? For example, in
/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf:

  # Default path to set.  The profile scripts will likely override this
  DefaultPath=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin

In my case adding to this would be inherited by enlightenment as gdm is
the parent process:

[benf at myworkstation ~]$ pstree -a 722
gdm-binary -nodaemon
  |-X :0 -audit 0 -auth /var/gdm/:0.Xauth vt7
    `-enlightenment
<snip_all_my_windows/>

HTH,

Ben.
