where to set variables like PATH, CUPS_SERVER...

[gregor]

hi,

it may be a simple question, but i absolutely don't know where i have to set 
these variables. i set them in .bashrc, but kde still ignores them which 
leads to some problems, i.e. programs are not found. Some programs install 
their binary to /usr/local/kde/bin, but my $PATH (in KDE) does not include 
that directory. Strangely, the $PATH in an xterm or konsole does.
I also have to set CUPS_SERVER somewhere to make my printer known to 
openoffice.org. but where?

thanks in advance for any help

gregor
