When I've been in that situation I've
put something like this into .bashrc:
desired_PATH=/home/eggert/bin:/r/share1/bin:/usr/bin:...etc...
case :$PATH: in
*:"$desired_PATH":*) ;;
*) PATH=$desired_PATH ;;
esac
That way, if some other program prepends or appends
something to $PATH, my subshells respect that; but
if bash is being invoked de novo it uses the desired PATH.
Maybe you can use that idea.
