When is comes to Trinit/KDE4, I thought of the desktop, not the applications.
I wasn't aware that the KDE3 applications still are around. I had the
impression that the Trinity desktop is KDE3 whereas the Trinity applications
are KDE4, which are more advanced and better than the KDE3 ones.
I haven't read the archives.
What should I have read?
So Trinity users should be prepared for trouble, and not expect a stable
system?
Those KDE4-menu entries introduce an element of bugginess, in an otherwise
perfectly stable system. That's how it seems to me.
Happy bug hunting,

I wasn't
aware that there are separate KDE4 and Trinity versions of the
KDE applications. I've installed Amarok-Trinity now, and it works
perfectly, just as it used to before I had to reinstall my Debian
system, when I was still using KDE 3.5.10.
They are very different!!! How would they _not_ have separate
applications? > (It's a pity that Amarok-KDE4 won't run

Amarok 1.4.10, running on KDE 3.5.10, does this. I
haven't tried the
Trinity one yet, but I would expect it to be the same.
Huh? Are you sure you haven't mistaken the version? I'm running 1.4.10 (on
Trinity), and there is definitely no feature like that.
The mess with
all the bugs I've encountered, seems to come from the KDE4
applications which are run under Trinity.
That has certainly been other people's experience, judging by this list. The neat
inclusion of the KDE4 apps in Trinitiy's menus gives the
impression that the integration is meant to work fine; at least that's
the impression it gave to me.
Do a little reading before installing? Perhaps the
KDE4 applications should be placed in a separate menu
hierarchy, or some warning message should tell the user that it's unsafe,
when using KDE4 apps in Trinity.
There have been a lot of warnings on this list.
