Hello, the PATH variable is modified by the "startkde" (or "starttde" in 
R14) script.
There is nothing needed in profile or bashrc.

This is an issue in the build procedure in the "tde-guidance" package.
You can still run the guidance utilities directly outside the Trinity 
Control Center. There are 5 utilities:

/opt/trinity/bin/grubconfig
/opt/trinity/bin/mountconfig
/opt/trinity/bin/serviceconfig
/opt/trinity/bin/userconfig
/opt/trinity/bin/wineconfig

See: http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1188

If it still does not work, then the build issue is more severe than I 
think :-)

Anyway, the Guidance utilities will be deprecated in R14, some there is 
little hope their bugs are fixed. Unless someone manages to make them 
work in R14 ...
