Tim, All,

Just dropping a note: TDE based on TQt is up and running fine on Archlinux. I had to use xinit (startx) to bring it up due to the tdm bug filling the tdm.log. One thing all packages need to remember is to install a reasonable set of fonts along with the tdebase package so that TDE doesn't look horrible when it is first started. (dejavu package that all distros have is fine as a dependency). Pretty impressive, git and TQt and .... trinity still works :)
