Hmm... AFAIK I'm adding /opt/local/bin to the search path in 4.0.5.2. Are you
absolutely sure you're on 4.0.5.2 and not 4.0.5.1? For 4.0.5.1, I released a
hotfix release tagged 4.0.5.1-1-osx, that fixes this issue explicitly.

That is normal, OS X resets the PATH to a clean value (see above, though without
/opt/X11/bin) for programs launched via the graphical interface or the "open"
utility.
