The problem is probably that when you start KDE with KDM (GUI login) that 
the: "Xsession" script is not running these two scripts:

	/etc/profile
	$HOME/.bash_profile

{some systems use: $HOME/.profile} for the second one.

I do this by making the: "Xsession" file a login script.  The first line is:

	#!/bin/bash --login

or the: "Xsession" script can explicitly source the two configuration files.

Note that some setups have an: "Xsession" script:

	$KDEDIR/share/config/kdm/Xsession

that does nothing but source the system: "Xsession" script which is normally:

	/etc/X11/Xsession

If that is the case, the first one needs to be the login script.

It is also possible that after an upgrade that you have an extra: 
"Xsession" script that is causing the problem.
