Make sure that the paths are in correct order and that you don't
overwrite PATH, but add to it.

It is, if you have auto-login enabled.
(Maemo doesn't have xdm, so it doesn't have auto-login, it starts
X server & user "session" directly from bootup scripts.)

One additional difference is that the device has BusyBox shell,
not the (huge) GNU Bash. BusyBox shell doesn't support all
Bashisms.
