Dear all,
since last September (October?) when I copy/move/delete files I see a window like the one in the attached picture.
I recall in the past I used to see a window with a progress bar and some buttons, likely containing the same information but much nicer.
Any idea?
Thanks
Michele

Yes, you are correct and my apologies. I stand by my opinion ---
that was expressed in an opt-in subscriber-only private mail list,
but I should not have shared that opinion here.

Looks good here. Thank you!
That leaves rosegarden and tde-style-qtcurve.

>Any clue ?
Yes, I have a clue. :)
A handful of apps don't compile after the recent API changes these
commits:
523c1fd9 2013-12-22 [tqt3] Automated update from Qt3
d1b6b7be 2013-12-22 [qt3] Repair performance regression
accidentally introduced with new style API
Tim is aware of the build failures.
The apps that don't compile with error messages related to the
style API commits:
python-trinity
pytdeextensions (probably only because of the dependency on python-
trinity)
tdebindings
libtqt-perl
tde-style-qtcurve
rosegarden
If you are a code hacker, look at these commits to create similar
patches:
a5826757 2013-12-23
7f8e73d6 2013-12-22
I tried patching python-trinity but I still kept getting build
failures.

Tim,
I don't have the experience of Slavek (so I may be missing something), but switching to quilt will require:
1) change the format inside debian/source/format from native to quilt
2) switch debian/ubuntu specific patches to quilt format
3)bremove anything related to quilt from debian/rules
4) modify the building scripts to create a "<source package>_<upstream version>.orig.tar.gz" file from the package source before building
5) modify the building scripts to build using format 3.0(quilt), which requires the .orig.tar.gz file to be in the parent directory of the debian folder
I have just updated dpkg on my Debian/Jessie, so in the next few days I will have to work on this, because I have already experience build failures, as Slavek initially mentioned.
If I find some other changes that are required, I will update the post.
Here are a couple of useful links as well:

Darrell,
I am fine with both versions. I think the second one misses the point that TDE is a DE which puts productivity before fancy-useless-bothering visual effects, which I think is the main reason why people use TDE. Perhaps the following version is a little better:
------------------------------
"Recently I discovered Trinity. I immediately felt at home with
this traditional computer desktop environment, which focuses on
productivity rather than the latest development in visual effects.
In these days of tablets and smart phones, traditional desktop
environments still play important roles. The TDE development team
is friendly and anyone such as myself may contribute to preserve
and enhance this fantastic desktop environment." --- Michele Calgaro, Italy
