Hi Gene,
now I realized one potential problem when updating from a previous version:
During the tdm-trinity upgrade, the previous version of the package
performs an unwanted removal of the init script /etc/init.d/tdm. If your
system uses init scripts, this can be a critical issue. The best way to
get the init script back is:
apt-get purge tdm-trinity && apt-get install tdm-trinity
Cheers

Got it, re-installed the heart of tde, 20 or so files with gksudo
synaptic, ran the dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity again, no errors I hadn't
seen before.
logged out, in due time the tdm login showed up, this time with a real
window manager menu. Default (last session) checked, switched it to tde,
clicked on login and everything seems back to normal.
But the damned bots are back to DDOSing me. Its one of the cz bots, and
while iptables claims its running and that address is shown as dropped,
it also is not incrementing ANY of the counters. I guess pita that it is
restarting everything, its time for a full shutdown reboot.

Did that, now the dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity kills the xsession and
restarts xfce4 w/o presenting a choice menu, it just restartx xfce4
And now I've got 10 minutes or more getting everything restarted.
grrr.
Thanks for any help. debian stretch on amd64 if
that helps.
1-Make sure tdm-trinity is installed and configured.
2-Purge lightdm, sddm, kdm, gdm and any other dm you can find
besides tdm. 3-Make sure /etc/X11/default-display-manager
exists and contains
/opt/trinity/bin/tdm.
It exists, and does contain the above.
