Okay, are you talking for your *X* environment or CLI or both?

Both.

try ~/.bashrc

That works for CLI, but not for X.  Maybe I'm approaching this all wrong.

I'm just looking for a way to add my ~/bin folder to the PATH, so all my scripts in ~/bin are available to X and the CLI.

For example. I want these scripts to be available when I engage Gnome's 'run' dialog box (not sure of the exact working - I work in a Japanese environment). Does that make sense? I think I never had this issue in the past (with SuSE) because I booted to a run level before X, logged on on the command line (which sourced ~/.bash_rc and ~/.profile ), and then started x.

Thanks for reading,
