export PATH="/home/thomas/bin:${PATH}:/home/thomas/installs/bin"
(I keep all my user installed apps in ~/installs/bin ;))

Custom PATH in KDE run dialog

This doesn't seem to work with KDE/Plasma 5, even though it probably should. A workaround is to add a script to ~/config/plasma-workspace/env/ and export your updated PATH there.
