Check the order of the $XDG_DATA_DIRS variable. If /opt/trinity/share is

Look in /etc/profile.d/tde.sh, created from the tdebase package.
I'm
guessing many TDE users do not experience this issue because they do
not use multiple DEs.
This sentence confuses me. If ffx is whining about the TDE entry in
XDG_DATA_DIRS, then what does multiple DEs have to do with this? Is it not
the case that everyone with TDE installed will have that TDE dir in their
XDG_DATA_DIRS variable? (Not that everyone uses ffx, but that is
orthogonal to how many DEs one uses). Are you familiar with Ray V's slackbuild scripts
(https://github.com/Ray-V/tde-slackbuilds) ? Or are these the ones that
you are referring to above?
Yes, those are the scripts I refer. There are many missing packages,
likely because the author does not need or want them. Some of the
unorthodox design is modifying the root user's .bashrc or using EOF to
create package descriptions and patches. The scripts create usable
packages, but are a far cry from traditional Slackware or SBo build
scripts. I find the scripts frustrating to use and maintain.
I recognize these are unorthodox SlackBuild scripts
(since, for example,
they have the unmitigated gall to download the source themselves :-),
Not so unusual. Many SBo and alienbob build scripts do this.
