How to set PATH for Dolphin servicemenu

[Zener]

Below my ~/.profile.

-------------------------------

# Append our default paths
#append_path '~/usr/bin'
#append_path '~/usr/tools/Root_Actions'
#append_path '~/usr/tools/PDF'

# Force PATH to be environment
#export PATH

#export PATH="$PATH:$(du -L ~/usr/bin/ | cut -f2 | tr '\n' ':' | sed 
's/:*$//')"
export PATH="$PATH:/home/andrea/usr/tools/Root_Actions

-------------------------------------

Help me to use the correct way.

P.S.

The commented line before the last one is what I have in .bashrc where 
work properly, but just for the shell.
