Trinity 3.5.13 updated with Slavek's patches

LXDE installed and used when essential
I have just run aptitude update. There were no upgrades. There were
2 yesterday.
My keyboard has disappeared in Trinity. There is obviously nothing
wrong with the keyboard(s), both PS2 and USB, both of which I have
tried, or the connection to the motherboard, since keyboards work in
the BIOS, gdm and LXDE.
This situation is made worse for me by the fact that k*-trinity
applications, with the exception of Konqueror, will not run in LXDE.
There is no KWrite, and I do not find Nano a long term acceptable
substitute, and I can run neither KMail nor Amarok. Not only are
these applications not in the menu, they will not run in the console,
with error message "command not found".
What have I done to upset Trinity?? And how do I persuade it to
function for me again?? There is obviously a problem with my imported
home. Other people for whom I have installed Trinity, but who had
little or no previous data, have ridden off into the sunset. But what
problem, where?

Lisi,
your problem with the keyboard reminds me that I once had a broken
keyboard in Trinity 3.5.12 on the machine my parents. On a text console
worked without problems. The KDM worked without problems, but after
logging into their profile did not work.
Probably not comforted you - it was something in the profile. Although
Trinity 3.5.12 used for more than a year, suddenly "something" happened
and keyboard just did not work.
When I put away the profile and started with the new, the keyboard works.
Gradually, I put back to profile important settings (kmail, kopete,
bookmarks,...) and keyboard still works. Unfortunately, I did not go into
such detail, and so I not find causes.
Note: Under LXDE TDE programs can not run, because TDE is not set in the
system PATH. TDE into PATH usually adds startkde. Try:
export PATH=/opt/trinity/bin:$PATH
export KDEDIR=/opt/trinity
export KDEHOME=$HOME/.trinity
...and then run TDE programs.

Hi, Slávek!
I didn't see this until after I had replied to Julius's post. Did I
say how much I dislike the Gmail interface? :-(
I shall certainly try both your suggestions. Thank you very much for them.
