Where is that info supposed to be? Hmm, good question, the docs in the KDE sysadmin area haven't been updated yet.

Installations usually don't create empty directories, but according to another user with a similar use case it works: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-linux&m=110538792115971&w=2 > I tried putting a script called path in ~/.kde/env/ with just the following > line: > > export PATH=~/bin:"$PATH" Can you check with some kind of test variable? Like export TESTKDEENV=test and then checking in a konsole window if it is set (assuming you don't set in somewhere else like .bashrc) > I logged out and changed the ~/.kde/env/path script to: > > #!/bin/sh > export PATH=~/bin:"$PATH" > > and gave it execution permission.

If you check the relevant section in startkde it is sourcing all files in those env directories.
