"env" or "export env"?

[D. Adam Karim]

You should really take a look at the man page for env. Basically, env(1)
allows you to modify the environment for the utility you use after it.
The man page goes into further detail about it but the FAQ's are correct
in their wording whether you are in konsole or not.
