Thanks Michele

I've been sick since you last wrote me. 

The info you gave was what I needed.

Right before I got sick I used the info to form a theory <grin>,,,  I have "massively" customized my Trinity menu.  I think that was what caused the errors.

In a few days I will continue working on the problem and get back to you with the results.  If I can I want to fix the problem instead of  just turning off the error messages.

Thanks for your help


Keith

Hi Keith,
the file r14-xdg-update is in /opt/trinity/bin. At lines 1067-1078 (at least on the R14.1.x version) there is a
section about "test9", which creates the mentioned 'r14-xdg-update-validation-test9.txt' file if something went wrong
when updating the tdemenu part.I guess this is a consequence of the 3 dialogs that appears during your login process.
Check the lines 849-883: probably the errors originated there (it's difficult to say from here without further
details). Even more likely it could be section 901-927.
If you need more support let us know and possibly posts more details as well.
Cheers
  Michele
