My .xsession file is a copy of my .xinitrc file that I used with `startx'
(i.e., it's a /bin/sh script).

My X-ecutables are in /usr/local/bin/X11, and my MH executables are in
/usr/local/bin/mh.  Interestingly, my .xsession invokes my X programs and
all of them are found.  Now I suspect now that this may be because I added
/usr/local/bin/X11 to the exported PATH in /etc/rc (where I fire up xdm).
I just added an explicit `HOME=...' and replicated my $path from my .cshrc as
a `PATH=...' at the beginning of my .xsession; will let you know if this
cures it (I'm on a plain terminal right now).
