It appears that gnome-terminal resets $PATH.

In which case, you need to either set GRASS_XTERM to "xterm" to force
the use of an xterm instead, or figure out how to make gnome-terminal
preserve $PATH.

That would appear to be a problem with the x-terminal-emulator script
passing gnome-terminal options which it doesn't understand.
