Do these same applications crash when run under
KDE4? Or, for that
matter, Gnome or XFCE?
I tried Amarok under KDE4 and Gnome. It crashes in both cases.
Remember the Trinity project was started, in
part,
due to the seemingly inherent bugginess of KDE4 and its associated
applications...
They have (sometimes) good crash handling und bug reporting provisions. It
must get stable some day in the (far) future... :->
AFAIK, KDE-Trinity is also for those who don't want to upgrade/use KDE4, this is
the case with me . I don't know how well supported running both versions in
parallel is, it may depend on which distro you use. Trinity is rock solid on
Debian Squeeze, as long as I run the Trinity DE. Trinity apps can have issues
when running under a different DE or WM, in my experience, Windowmaker.
On Debian squeeze I use Okular from KDE4, Debians dependency matrix pulls in
a 'ton' of KDE4 stuff, aka libs and such, just to run one app. I have lots of
hardware resources so I don't mind... as long as nothing affects my Trinity
install. Don't use amarok so no experience there.
