My .bashrc contains the following variable to remove the system KDE from the PATH: PATH=${PATH//\/usr\/kde\/[^:]*:} export PATH=${PATH//\/usr\/qt\/3[^:]*:} This is some sort of bash-ism for applying a search-and-replace to the value of the variable. This one removes all /usr/kde/* and /usr/qt/3* type paths from the PATH. Maybe it'll work for you? Regards, - Michael Pyne
