I tried TeXmaker on an i386 installation of sid, with xfce4, and it
worked as follows: starting from the menu, TEXINPUTS environment
variable from my login shell is not detected.  Starting from the
terminal, it (unsurprisingly) is. I can only suggest you try creating a
test user with no customization and try it from there.
