Why would a .bash_profile affect KDE *at all*?  .bash_profile is used by 
*bash* to configure the environment for login runs.  If you are starting a 
KDE session from KDM/XDM/GDM there's no login bash runs involved in the 
startup.

If you would like to affect the global environment of your KDE session, and 
are not using a custom session, you can place files in ~/.kde/env.  Files 
ending in ".sh" are read and executed in the same shell that is reading and 
executing the startkde script.  This might not be bash; it is usually 
whatever /bin/sh is on your system.

You *might* use .bashrc instead.  It is sourced for all interactive non-
login bash runs.  I don't think it would affect KDE startup, but it might.
