OK this is what I thought. KDE3 conflicts with TDE.
Until we find a trick, we cannot use both on the same computer.
I'm having a hard time imagining a need for both, as long as equivalent
packages (that I use ;-) ) remain available on TDE for all available on KDE3.
You can remove "kdeartwork3" and install
"trinity-tdeartwork".
Yikes! Adding this one pulled in 11 others.
You can remove "kde3-gtk-qt-engine" and
install "trinity-qt-engine".
"No provider of 'trinity-qt-engine' found (but trinity-gtk-qt-engine is now
installed).
About the 2 other packages, I don't know if they
are specific to Suse,
specific to KDE3, or both.
But they are not needed (and not even used) by Trinity, so they are
useless to you. You'd better remove them to avoid other strange
side-effects.
They're gone now.

Nice find. It could be a Trinity enhancement, you
should fill a bug
report for it.
http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/bugzilla/bugzilla/bugzilla/bugzilla/show_bug…
I'm glad it finally works for you :-)
Not completely yet.
1-Init 3 from runlevel 5 fails to stop kdm, same as with KDE3 in 12.2. rcxdm
stop and /etc/init.d/xdm stop don't stop it either.
2-startx instead of TDE starts icewm. Comments in
/etc/sysconfig/windowmanager fail to say to make TDE the DEFAULT_WM it needs
to be set to tde.
3-cnf starttde produces nothing. cnf startkde produces no hits in
/opt/trinity/* or from TDE repo.
I hope you will enjoy Trinity.
I can't imagine it not. KDE3 is weak on maintenance resources. KDE4 is hopeless:

This exercise was on my backup box to the system I run 24/7, trying to figure
out whether an upgrade from 11.4 to 12.2 is doable. The bonus upgrade to TDE
I hope will end the nonsense that updated KDE3 packages are inexplicably
added to the mirrors practically every day.
In the meantime, I have at least a half dozen 12.2 systems, at least half of
which have KDE3 instead of KDE4. Over time I'll probably convert at least 3
to TDE, but the next step will be a fresh minimal X with TDE on a box whose
HD died week before last, which is waiting for me to put in the new one UPS
brought me today.
