- Trinity seems to be ignoring ~/.config/autostart. In that directory I
have a hplip-systray.desktop with the following [Desktop Entry] directive: Hidden=true. That directive should prevent hplip-systray from starting. An hplip-systray.desktop file is found in /etc/xdg/autostart, but the Hidden directive should override starting that app. I don't have this problem on 3.5.10.
This one is more serious and will need to be looked into.
Can you try modifying the startkde script like so: Replace this portion of text (text after the "&&" remains the same as before) XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS:/opt/kde3/etc/xdg:/etc/xdg/ &&
With this: XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS:/opt/kde3/etc/xdg:/etc/xdg/:$HOME/.config &&
and see if your problem #7 above is resolved?
Thanks!
