If you do so, you could also mention that with ~/.MacOSX/ 
environment.plist you have one "single point of failure:" you don't  
need to mess with PATH or path settings in different (login) shell RC  
files. Whenever you need a particular environment variable globally,  
you can put it there. Since the process environment does not  
automatically change when ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist is changed, and  
it could happen that you log in to your or some other Mac from  
remote, you can also use ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist as the single  
source for quite up-to-date environment settings in shell by using in  
~/.bashrc or such:

        export PATH=$(defaults read "${HOME}/.MacOSX/environment" PATH)

or in ~/.(t)cshrc or such:

        set path=(`defaults read ~/.MacOSX/environment PATH | tr ':' ' '`)

I.e.: instead of editing half a dozen files every time you care for  
just a single one.
