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" :)
