This might work.
I am having trouble with this PATH and ENV variables on KDE.

I think I forgot something critical here.
Examples.

I want to load /usr/local/mozilla as part of PATH.  I thought I could do 
this under .profile - but I either fat-fingered something or it just 
ignored it.
Similarly, I have added 'export CVSROOT=/var/lib/cvs' to .profile.
But when I open an xterm window ... there is no CVSROOT.
