exporting PATH (without logging in again)



Hello,
i have a simple question regarding PATH environment variable:

my PATH is actually set to
   
   ~$echo $PATH
   /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin


and i want to change it to:

   {$PATH}:/home/my_bin1:/home/my_bin2


but i do NOT want to login again, but just simply get PATH changed when i open a new Konsole being
already logged in

my profile files are:
  
   ~$less ~/.bash_profile
   # ~/.bash_profile: executed by bash(1) for login shells.
   # the default umask is set in /etc/login.defs
   #umask 022

   # the rest of this file is commented out.

   # include .bashrc if it exists
   #if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
   #    source ~/.bashrc
   #fi

   # set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
   #if [ -d ~/bin ] ; then
   #    PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}"
   #fi
   export PATH=$PATH:/home/my_bin1:/home/my_bin2
   # do the same with MANPATH
   #if [ -d ~/man ]; then
   #    MANPATH=~/man:"${MANPATH}"
   #fi

and also

   ~$less /etc/profile
   # /etc/profile: system-wide .profile file for the Bourne shell (sh(1))
   # and Bourne compatible shells (bash(1), ksh(1), ash(1), ...).

   PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games"

 if [ "$BASH" ]; then
   PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ '
     else
   if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then
    PS1='# '
  else
    PS1='$ '
  fi
fi

export PATH PS1

umask 022


with this setup i only get my PATH changed in the shell where i login again, so how to get it
changed just opening another Konsole in KDE?
My system is:
woody 2.4.21

Thank you very much.
