There is no ~/.trinity in this account; Trinity is using
~/.kde (which seems
strange and frightening).
It only happens on one of the four accounts on
my system; the others
work fine with Trinity.
I created a brand new account and it works flawlessly, so there must be
something broken in that one account, not in the Trinity installation.
Any clues as to what sort of files/directories are involved? Just
exactly what is xdg and what does it do/is it good for?
xdg is the "black magic" that lets you do things like "xdg-open
a-pdf-file.pdf" and the associated pdf-viewer will come up (or it won't, if
it's monday morning and you are under pressure)
But looking at r14-xdg-update, could it be that said account contains
traces of kde3? If so, please remove .kde* - most likely you'll have to
move .trinity to .trinity-old, then log in as the user and recreate the
settings (or move them over one by one from .trinity-old, so you'll know
what caused the error).
Oh, you did already a "chown USERNAME:GROUPNAME ~USERNAME" as root, didn't
you?
No. I am assuming that all of these operations are to be performed in the
affected account.
