Of course I mispelled it :) The package is trinity-gtk-qt-engine, as you
found .
Good luck with that, it's nice to see people (willing to) use TDE in a
larger scale than a single home computer :-)

The TDE packaging is more "fine grained" than KDE3 packaging. The single
"kdeartwork3" package is equivalent to the 11 Trinity packages.
So you can selectively uninstall any program you don't want, without
uninstalling everything from a package family.
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).
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.
Ok, I've found
that openSUSE use specific configuration files to find
which DM to use.
Save the attached file as /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/tdm .
Then set "DISPLAYMANAGER=tdm" in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager
Then, edit file /opt/trinity/share/config/kdm/kdmrc
Activate and set variable: PidFile=/var/run/tdm.pid
Now starting and shutting down TDM with openSUSE scripts should work.
I will make these changes to the next package release.
Alas, when stopping TDM, it looks like other processes forked by TDM
(tsak ...) are not stopped...
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.
It looks like the comments are hardcoded in a template in an openSUSE
package:
/var/adm/fillup-templates/sysconfig.windowmanager
You should fill a bug report on openSUSE bugtracker asking to add 'tde'
to the list. (they are likely to refuse, since we are not upstream, and
kde3 is absent too)
3-cnf starttde produces nothing. cnf startkde produces no hits in
/opt/trinity/* or from TDE repo.
Mmm I have no clue about this.
Maybe it's because the Trinity repository is in YUM format ...
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.
