In the gnome-terminal, all I do is type in gmc from my home directory and it runs. Also, I have /sw/bin in my path. I was thinking that it might be a permission thing so I did a "startx -- -quartz" under root--still didn't work. Plus, I looked at the files and directories under /sw/share/gnome/apps, and mine looks like yours except you have a few more applications.
