This could be a *buntu problem. I am running TDE on various Debian based distributions as well as openSUSE, *with* KDE 4/5 apps (mostly kdenlive) and no such problem.
All of these problems could of course be avoided, regardless of distro, by installing a base, mini, server (or whatever it is called) version. After that, you just add the Trinity repos to the list that your distribution uses.

This sounds like it could be a useful suggestion; do a minimal installation, then add the Trinity repositories.
Bill
Here is my personal check list to make sure that useful items get added to a minimal install:
$ sudo apt-get install clipit axel aria2 aspell-da audacity ripperx xarchiver desktop-base clipit cups gtkorphan gdebi pulseaudio pavucontrol pepperflash wicd synaptic xcfa xorg
I use Devuan Jessie, which doesn't use systemd. The "desktop-base" package are some Devuan goodies.
Hope the list helps.

Thanks for the checklist of pkgs for minimal installation. It mostly resembles my own, with a few exceptions; but those items look useful.
Also, I am interested in running Devuan over Debian, because I am less than enthusiastic about my systemd experience. It seems like systemd interferes with certain operations.
I set out to learn Debian first, before trying Devuan; because I was used to running the 'buntus, and unfamiliar with the differences in a Debian system.
Now that I've got Debian under control (except for systemd), I think maybe I'm ready to go for Devuan. So if you can offer any advice about making the switch, I would be most grateful.
Devuan repositories (including the onion links) are already in my sources.list. And I now have a second computer, and more liberty to explore and experiment.
