I tried adding these lines in ~/.bashrc :
PATH=/opt/trinity/bin:$PATH
KDEDIR=/opt/trinity
KDEHOME=$HOME/.trinity
(after relogin) No luck calling tde apps from a LXDE "run" box without full
path (e.g. /opt/trinity/bin/kwrite)
When added also to ~/.profile - on relogin it worked without full path. Why
I don't know, I thought .profile sourced .bashrc at login. Never mind, that
does the job.
Maybe the same for /root e.g. for a text editor, not tried yet.
If you migrated a whole bulk of settings from another system any trouble is
most likely config files not tde bug, setting up a new "test" user account
will prove that
I don't need a test to prove that! it is certainly the case. I have
seen my files! In fact, I had decided on a complete reinstall next
week, and am relieved to find that merely deleting .trinity might
work, for considerably less effort!
But I had not realised that these particular problems were due to
that. Anyhow, if it were a bug, it is as likely in LXDE or Squeeze as
in Trinity - and then there is always PEBKAC.
I really can't do much until next week, but I shall try your
suggestions. I could do with access to my KMail before Gmail drives
me totally insane.
Thanks,
