Not sure what you are trying to do specifically, I will guess you have a 
folder in your home dir called /home/hans/bin and you want to execute 
something in there that is not in your standard PATH ? 

I think you can edit the .profile and adjust your path to KDE

If you hit <alt><F2> you should see an envelope for options, make sure Files 
and Locations are checked then it should search everywhere.

It could also be that you have akonadi turned off or not searching your files 
and folders? Typically with SSD's you woud turn akonadi off, but sadly that 
disables a lot of functionality in KDE.

** it appears via a kde bug report that the path should work from .bashrc and 
.zsh, maybe you need to adjust your path in the /etc/profile instead of in 
your home dir?
