One thing that I have found very useful in KDE3 was the ability to view and use medical image file formats (MRI,CT,etc..). The functionality is provided through libksquirrel. However, the xmedcon library must be present on the system for libksquirrel to provide this capability. I have tested and built xmedcon with current (bleeding edge) libraries and it works fine. For TDE to be able to handle medical image formats -> that's a pretty good feather in it's cap :)

_prefix=/usr
./configure \ --prefix=${_prefix} \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --localstatedir=/var \ --libdir=/usr/lib
make
Simple build. I'll test later today or tomorrow. I'll have to pull CTs from closed files to test with the medical images, but I don't anticipate problems.
There are a few other file formats that I have to work on (CAD DXF, etc..), but I would like to see TDE ship with all capabilities working (or at least be able to have all of them working)
Nice ideas. :)
Looks like xmedcon is actively maintained. As Trinity provides libksquirrel and ksquirrel packages, seems a how-to article in the community section of the wiki is appropriate for providing this type of extended support.
