KDE won't see any changes in those files because its applications don't use 
the shell, and it's bash who read those files.
All files matching with *.sh in ~/.kde/env/ will be sourced by startkde (which 
kdm also calls) when it is run. There you should put your changes. I did 
something like this, a file called ~/.kde/env/path.sh with the following 
line:

export PATH=$PATH:~/bin

That's all. Just learned in this very list.
