The XMLEditor.app application bundle does not see the environment variables specified in your ~/.profile. You need to specify the environment variables needed by XMLEditor.app in ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist. See http://www.astro.washington.edu/owen/AquaEnvVar.html
However in your case, I would recommend to keep specifying "/usr/local/bin/gs" rather than "gs" in the <imageToolkit> plug-in.
