Guys,
I created a new build of 3513, and going through the initial config, I have a
couple of problems.
(1) All screensavers are missing. Usually I am used to seeing the following
(screenshot from another 3513 install):
http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/3513-ScrnSav-OK.jpg
but now when I look in kcontrol, all I get is Blank, None and Tux Screensaver.
What should I check to figure out why they are not loading? The only failure I
find in .xsession-errors that looks relevant is:
Could not load library! Trying exec....
kdeinit: Got EXEC_NEW 'klipper' from launcher.
kdeinit: Got EXEC_NEW 'kpowersave' from launcher.
Failure: Module initialization failed
kdeinit: PID 2975 terminated.
could the kpowersave failure be related to the missing screensavers?
(2) I have 2 'Trash' icons on the desktop. One with the correct icon, one
without:
http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/3513-2Trash.jpg
Additionally, in kcontrol desktop icons, I can't find a checkbox to turn of
'System'. What does this 2-trash setup look like to you?

Should read Blank, Random and Tux...

Basically, the opengl screensavers are not showing up. They did show up
previously in both 3.5.12 and R14, but on this install, they are not showing up
in 3.5.13-sru. Is there some command that I can run from the cli when launching
'kcmshell screensaver' that might disclose where the failure is?
I am running the *EXACT* same tdelibs and tdebase as I am on another 3513-sru
install where the screensavers are fine, so I haven't a clue where this failure
may be.
On this particular box, all xorg and x11 libraries are the same as on the
working 3513 install, so it isn't xorg/x11 related. This box does have a newer
kernel from today, but that's about it. What else is relevant to have kcmshell
screensaver load the list of opengl screensavers?

I had two trash where I pulled the previous user profile from KDE3 (collected

Likely to be a install path issue during compiling. Read my comments in bug report 1178.
Remember that KDE/TDE <=3.5.13 used different install path locations than R14.
(2) I have 2 'Trash' icons on the desktop. One

http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/3513-2Trash.jpg
Remember that both 3.5.13 SRU and R14 use the same $HOME/Desktop directory to store
certain desktop icons. Using two different profile directories is a good idea because
remember that R14 includes all of the XDG compliance changes. Thus, expect breakage trying
to use the same profile between 3.5.13 and R14.

I still did not know what this 2 trash can thing was all about. Before install

My only thought on this one particular box is that it also had enlightenment

I have:

Note: If it has been a while since you looked at enlightenment (E17) as a

preloads kde configs on desktop start giving you seamless access to your tde apps :)

In TDE the Trash icon is a built-in. The default fresh TDE profile will display the icon,
until configured otherwise in Desktop Behavior. Therefore look for other XDG locations
where a Trash icon could be stored.

You are correct here. This is one of those strange update from 3.5.12 -> R14 ->
3.5.13-sru issue. One trash was /opt/trinity based the other was ~/Desktop
based. I can't explain either...
