Hi,

I'm using Emacs HEAD on Mac (Mavericks).
If it is executed from Dock, it does not inherit PATH:

	(getenv "PATH")
	"/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"

If it is executed by "open /Applications/Emacs.app", it inherits PATH.

Emacs 24.3 inherits PATH even if it is executed from Dock.

Is this an intentional behavior change?

This is the way all OSX applications work, Emacs is not different.
Checkout:

% man launchctl

Search for setenv.  Also look at

% man launchd.conf

No it does not:

(getenv "PATH")
"/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"
emacs-version
"24.3.1"

Nothing has changed in this area.

Hi Jan,

Thank you for your reply.

Ah, OK.

Precisely speaking, I'm using emacs-24.3-mac-4.7. In my case, PATH is
inherited thanks to emacs-24.3-mac-4.7's extension.
