If you made a change to your .profile why wouldn't you just apply it?
. ~/.profile
Why logout and back in? You know which file was changed because you made the change.
As someone else mentioned down below, if you just need a new login shell with your variable changes just do this:
exec /bin/bash -l
(the -l meaning, "act as if... invoked as a login shell")
Also a tip if you're using KDE: You don't need to logout and back in. Just do this:
killall plasmashell
kstart plasmashell
That should apply any changes you've made to environment variables to any applications that get launched (subsequently) via KDE's usual methods (e.g. K menu or krunnner aka Alt-F2). Your running applications will remain open!
