This has to be file association "thing", but I'm not sure how
to get to the solution.
Ubuntu 16.04 TDE 14.0.7
I just added dropbox (for my existing Dropbox account) to a
computer where it was not yet installed.
Everything works "OK" ...
.... except:
Clicking on the System Tray object brings up the Dropbox menu.
Then clicking on "Open Dropbox Folder" brings up Kid3 !!!!
(kid3: the mp3 sound tag editor)
I'm pretty sure 'it' wants to launch a file manager, but I do not
know how to look behind the curtain of the System Tray object
and see what it is attempting to do.
And, if I go into Trinity Control Center >> TDE Components >>
File Associations -- I see I might have a thousand or more file
types and associations. But, I do not know how Dropbox is issuing
the request -- e.g., I do not know what file type is involved.
I must be overlooking something to debug this. What?
Thank you,
Jonesy

For quite a while now I've been unable to use TDEsu to open utilities that
require root access, e.g. TDM configuration. TDEsu freezes after I enter the
root password and press Enter.
When I run it from the command line I see
> tdesu: WARNING: Daemon not safe (not sgid), not using it.
Looking at /opt/trinity/bin/tdesud, I saw that indeed, it was not sgid, so I
set that bit; but it still hangs, albeit without the message.
I see that there are four programs associated with this function:
> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 59912 2019-03-18 15:53:08 /opt/trinity/bin/tdesu
> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14544 2019-03-18 15:37:31 /opt/trinity/bin/tdesu_stub
> -rwxr-sr-x 1 root root 55440 2019-03-18 15:53:08 /opt/trinity/bin/tdesud
> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 72200 2019-03-19 15:10:26 /opt/trinity/bin/tdesudo
Should other bits be set for one or more of these? Is there a missing entry
in /etc/group? What else should I look for?
N.B. I have tried reinstalling the package containing TDEsu, but that hasn't
helped.

Hi there.
Programs that sometimes fail to restore across boots:
Kate Konsole Konqueror Thunderbird
Sometimes when Konsole restores it forgets the "Paper" schema and
reverts to default.
Sometimes the sound starts muted and I have to enable it with kmixer
which tells me that I have two mixers, PulseAudio and "HDA Intel PCH".
Maybe that's because I end the session with earphones plugged in and
start it with them unplugged, not sure.
I had these problems before upgrading to Buster, but they seem to be
happening more frequently recently.
Is there somewhere session restore errors are logged?
Unrelated ping: currently System Guard does not show network speed:
