Good question? (That's what I get for answering an OT post :o) And,
the more I think about it: stay far away from
~/.MacOSX/environment.plist and ~/.launchd.conf since they are poorly
designed to be version-specific. Stick with ~/.profile and/or ~/.bashrc
which are universal and portable to UNIX/Linux as well.
