I would never kick you OR the tires! Just this stupid thing that

Now to jump over to PIM, I have a bug report there. This one also does
not occur in the official packages, hence my reporting it here. This
one specifically affects SMTP support in Kmail. Whenever I try to send
an email (Kmail or Korganizer), it does not send it. when I click on
the up-arrow for the progress report and try to re-send, it shows up
with an unrecognized protocol. I normally use port 587 with TLS,
though I have also tried 465 with SSL (these are the Gmail settings,
IIRC one of these is different on Gmail than on most email systems). I
can't try on port 25, neither Gmail nor my ISP will allow it, and
Gmail does not allow unsecure access.
For troubleshooting, I tried searching around ~/.trinity/share/* for
Kmail-related stuff, and I removed everything I found, then logging
out then back in, and re-setting my SMTP settings, with both port
587/TLS and 465/SSL, and they still would not work.
IMAP seems fine, I have not tried POP3.

Hi,
The update seems to have broke KM somehow. It loaded normally when I
turned on my laptop, but when I tried to log in, the user/password box
disappeared for a moment, the screen flickered, and it was asking for
my user and password. I tried several more times, and even typed the
wrong password on purpose. It seems to pick up on the wrong password
okay (displays the login failed message), but if the password is
correct, it exhibits the behavior I described.
I had to kill kdm/Xorg, login via CLI, then run startx to get into
TDE. Everything else seems fine, it's just kdm that seems to be
affected.

Now I know why it is broken starting TDE as a "default" session!
The updated startkde script (according to bug #675) for determining the
TDE path use $0. But if the session is running as a "default", then $0
instead of /opt/trinity/bin/startkde returns /usr/bin/x-session-manager,
from which startkde does not detect anything useful.
Therefore, I prepared a patch that adds readlink for canonization.
Unfortunately I will have to update packages kdebase again... and
quickly :(
In any case, thank you for the "kick" :)
