It is strange that the problem only occurs with 1.4.0...

In 1.3.x, it is in LyX::init, where you find around line 398 of
lyx_main.C
string oldpath = GetEnv("PATH");
string newpath = "PATH=" + oldpath + ":" + binpath + ":";
newpath +=
"/sw/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current";
PutEnv(newpath);
lyxerr[Debug::INIT] << "Running from LyX/Mac bundle. "
"Setting PATH to: " << GetEnv("PATH") << endl;
So this means that
/sw/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current
is added to PATH.
However, if you go to the info.plist route, you will not be able to
_add_ to PATH, I think. You need to provide a full PATH variable (with
/usr/bin and friends).
So an alternative way might be to define a variable LYX_PATH in
info.plist that contains these values and change the code above to
only append the value of LYX_PATH to PATH.
In 1.4.0cvs, the method is the same, but the code is around line 313
of src/support/path_define.C.in.
Does this answer to your questions?
