Evolution lets me also access other things such as the calendar without

Kmail for just my personal e-mails, but thanks for the suggestion.
By the way, the thing that was causing my GTK apps not to launch at all
wasn't gtk-qt-engine-trinity, but kgtk-qt3-trinity, which I had also
installed and was supposed to allow GTK applications to use Trinity's file
dialogues when run under Trinity. I uninstalled that package and they
stopped complaining about "GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3 in the same process", and
started executing again, so maybe that package is broken or obsolete.
Thank you all,

You might also try installing the package qt5ct + dependencies.
It's been a while since I used it, so I can't recall if it also helps to make
icons compatible with gtk2 and gtk3, but it definitely helps to make many
non-TDE applications use TDE color schemes.
Be sure, however, after installing, to run this command:
sudo sh -c "echo 'export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct' >>
/etc/environment"
then reboot.
