Adding to the path variable

Hopefully a simple question

I am running Gloria GNOME and have added KDE3.5 kmail ... it's along story. So I want to add this little lot to my environment.

PATH=/opt/kde3/bin:/opt/kde3/games:/opt/kde3/bin:$PATH KDEDIRS=/usr/:/opt/kde3/ KDEHOME=$HOME/.kde3 XDG_DATA_DIRS=/opt/kde3/share/:/usr/share/ MANPATH=/opt/kde3/share/man

The kubuntu wiki isn't much help just saying you need to add this without saying where or how.
Can someone point me to the best / correct file I should edit please and let me know how I should complete the insert. Reading various posts some indicate its ~/.bash or /etc/bash.bashrc or .profile or .login or ... well there doesn't seam to be a consensus.

Appreciate your help, thanks Drewlong
