Kate -> Take or Konsole -> Tonsole or Konqueror -> Tonqueror,Yes, it's true, Why the applications keep the letter "K" as KDE ? It should be "T" as Trinity. Twrite, Tedit, Tview, Tmail, Tonqueror...
No they shouldn't. They should stay the same name. These applications don't change to gonsole, gonqueror, gate, etc when they are run under Gnome.
"Konsole" etc work as names because they already start with a hard-C sound, so its just a cute spelling pun: "console" sounds exactly the same as "konsole".
But "tonsole" sounds like the organ at the back of your throat, the tonsil.
And let's be realistic: TDE is not precisely a popular desktop. Sad but true. Somebody looking for help with "Tmail" is going to find very little information unless Google is clever enough to say "Did you mean Kmail?" The existing names have worked fine for many years, let's not break what isn't broken.
