This topic deserves further investigation.

Some quick testing reveals the problem experienced by the blog author is the XDG environment variables.

That said, here is a list of Trinity *.desktop files using OnlyShowIn=TDE

tdeutils/kdf/kwikdisk.desktop tdeutils/superkaramba/src/superkaramba.desktop

==========================================================

From this list, I think only the following are candidates for change:

tdepim/kalarm/kalarm.desktop -> NotShowIn=KDE tdepim/korganizer/korgac/korgac.desktop -> NotShowIn=KDE tdeutils/kdf/kwikdisk.desktop -> NotShowIn=KDE

Of the remaining Trinity *.desktop files, the question remains whether any TDE app that has the same name as in KDE4 should use NotShowIn=KDE. Such a change would be noticeable only when a user or admin modifies the XDG_* environment variables to search /opt/trinity. When KDE4 and Trinity are installed concurrently, any such change would remove the Trinity version from the menu and leave only the KDE4 version.

I think a better strategy is find a way to improve the menus of other environments.

There are two anomalies:

NotShowIn=GNOME: tdebase/konqueror/konquerorsu.desktop tdebase/ksysguard/gui/x-ksysguard.desktop
