This is embarrassing. I can't get TDE to start.

uneventfully. Ran sudo update-alternatives --config-xsession-manager and
selected /opt/trinity/bin/starttde from the list. Reboot, no joy.
Per online information, edited
/var/lib/AccountsServices/users/<my-user-name> to change XSession=LXDE-pi-x
to first tde and when that didn't work TDE. Reboot. Still have LXDE.
I'm clearly missing something. If anyone knows what it is, please tell me.
And in any case, once the answer is found I'll write it up and submit it
for possible inclusion in the docs.

I don't actually run Raspberry Pi (yet), but the commands look the same as
what I use, so I am going to take a wild guess here that your problem looks
similar to something that has happened to me while installing on desktops and
laptops.
First, I don't know if this applies to R Pi, but make sure that you have
uninstalled destop-base and replaced it with desktop-base-trinity. It may be
that a Pi doesn't use this.
Second, and more likely, try running this command:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity
Sometimes I need to do that to set the preferred DE, and this switches it from
the default installation to TDE.
