I spent most of yesterday afternoon and today updating my repository and building new packages for the first time since January. Late today I updated my system with those packages.
A whole bunch of things blew up.
Launch feedback stopped; I was being interrupted continually by kwallet/tdewallet, which I don't use; mimetypes were screwy; kmail wanted passwords; and whatever else I'm not remembering now that I've regained some sanity and composure. I needed about three hours to repair the confusion as well as debug what happened. Good thing I have a good backup strategy.
Everything was traceable to the recent renaming rampage.
The biggest problems were creating new rc files but not transferring the contents from the old rc files --- or renaming the old rc files, as well as the renaming of khtml->tdehtml and kfile-
tdefile.
I pushed patches to update the migratekde3 and r14-xdg-update scripts. Even if you have already run the r14-xdg-update script some time ago, do so again using the 'force' parameter in order to benefit from the latest patch, which will update affected files. Be sure to do this before starting Trinity.
There might be additional files affected that I am unaware and were not part of the patch set.

Was this all traceable to configuration file problems then?
My apologies for the inconvenience caused by the renaming; both Slavek and I are in general agreement that no matter how painful it might be in the short term, this renaming project was required for the long-term survival of the TDE project.
