The install didn't switch it, and gnome won't show me the tools.
Help!

First is the tde desktop looks a bit strange.
When I installed, because getting rid of gnome is such a pain in the ass,
I chose xfce4 during the install, and although I've installed several
hundred of the core trinity bits, I still have an xfce4 desktop.
/etc/X11/default-display-manager says twm. /etc/init.d has lightdm.
I'm getting the tde login but am not getting tde. And I can't run a root
session in a Konsole, display 10 no perms.
I guess thats more than two problems. Do I rip lightdm out by its hair
with an rm to it in etc/init.d or what to actually get a tde x session
running?

I just stopped it, reinstalled everything kmail related in a synaptic
search, and restarted it from the tde menu. It immediately reported two
bad indices, for folders emc and spam-hold, and took 32 minutes to scan
those 2 folders and open its gui.
I own as gene:gene with perms from 600 to 644 in the /home/gene/Mail
subdir. It is NOT updating now for 4 days, the files
in /home/gene/Mail/emc/cur to indicate read or important by appending
the
':2,S' or ':2,RS' but it is generating new indices, 2 of them everytime
it tries to scan that folder, so it CAN create/write to that folder.
There are around 60100 messages in that folder, and the indice files are
drwxr-xr-x 5 gene gene 4096 Mar 31 12:08 emc
-rw------- 1 gene gene 44551163 Mar 31 12:08 .emc.index
-rw-r--r-- 1 gene gene 240389 Mar 31 12:08 .emc.index.ids
These 2 files have been nuked to see if a rebuild fixes it, no.
And now everthing kmail, about 8 packages, has been re-installed from the
local archive since the mirror is missing now for several days.
Is there a fix? Or can it be fixed short of installing a stretch
netinstall on a new drive?

In Debians, it's /etc/X11/default-display-manager.
In openSUSE 15.0, it's /etc/alternatives/default-xsession.desktop.
startx opens TDE session.
Neither works in Fedora 29.
startx starts X, then exits.
startx /opt/trinity/bin/starttde works, but shouldn't be needed. There are only
two installed, Trinity, and IceWM. Default should not be neither.
