On my system, xelatex doesn't get the tex/xelatex files:

$ which xelatex
/usr/bin/xelatex
$ kpsewhich -progname=xelatex url.sty
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/ltxmisc/url.sty
$ grep xelatex $(kpsewhich texmf.cnf)
TEXINPUTS.xelatex = .;$TEXMF/tex/{latex,generic,}//

but,

$ which xelatex kpsewhich
/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-linux/xelatex
/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-linux/kpsewhich
$ kpsewhich -progname=xelatex url.sty
/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/tex/xelatex/xetexurl/url.sty
$ grep xelatex $(kpsewhich texmf.cnf)
TEXINPUTS.xelatex       = .;$TEXMF/tex/{xelatex,latex,generic,}//

Apparently the xelatex directory is missing from
/etc/texmf/texmf.d/45TeXinputs.cnf --
I assume the xetex installer should have done this.
