New install of Wheezy TDE 3.45.14 (nightlies).
I have the missing *.la issue, noted previous post, for Konq.
Initially I did not have 'tdm-trinity' in '/etc/init.d/' consequently not in any run levels either. I copied 'tdm-trinity' from my laptop install, updated the run levels.
TDE desktop failed to start, it seems ksmserver-trinity did not get installed with the 'tdebase-trinity' meta-package I used.
I was havng a hardware issue with my workstation, and replaced the root hard drive, went with the new install. It seems, esp. last month, the nightlies are not even ready for testing. There was a warning from Tim a while back about some changes. Hard for me to tell when it is safe to do an update and when and for how long to wait. I have been using the nightlies in a test environment since last summer. TDE has been usable most of that time...untill recently.
