Try to uninstall kgtk-qt3-trinity (and maybe gtk-qt-engine-trinity); see okd mail from Slávek: ------------------------- snip ------------------------------------------ On Wednesday 02 May 2012, Slávek Banko wrote: Question: when will get kgtk-qt3-trinity not longer installed by sefault - too much trouble with gtk applications.

Yes I recommend too to remove these theme engine package. On PCLinuxOS, it worked partly, but caused enormous document layout troubles... Better stay away! Instead, you can get a GTK theme that is similar to Plastik. -Alexandre

Tony, Sorry, not yet! Good things are coming! I know I said less positive things about the reliability of R14 some time ago, but it has now matured a lot and now it is okay, much closer to release. François Andriot is the person who packages TDE for rpm-based distros and myself, I have not tested R14 nightly builds on PCLOS. My test computer is temporarily Ubuntu for testing it. For David Bell, He wrote: Thanks Gerhard, kgtk-qt3-trinity isn't installed by default. If I try to uninstall gtk-qt-engine-trinity it will remove the desktop according to Synaptic. Yes, I have seen this before. It removes the meta-packages that contains the default list of packages needed by TDE to work, but not the desktop itself. You can click on the details buttons in the list of the windows just before you hit okay to start the operation in Synaptic to see what is installed/removed/upgraded. If you see that tons of TDE packages are going to be removed, then something went wrong, but if you see that the desktop package is the only one (or maybe one or 2 others) to be removed, then there is nothing to worry about. Thanks! Alexandre

Hi Alexandre Thanks for response. I will , for time being, carry on with Ubuntu nightly builds Looking forward to pclos version sometime in the near future Tony Tony, Please beware that it is not recommended to use beta or nightly build software on a day-to-day basis. At some moments, your computer might be unusable or unstable, as development goes on and some parts of software might stop to work. This is why it might be better for you to stay on PCLinuxOS for now. Also, look at the fundraising posts on the mailing list, and you'll see that even nightly build ready-to-use packages are not available for the moment. Also, as with all the TDE installs made from this site, you will get a vanilla install, not an extra chocolate one like mine! Have a nice day! -Alexandre

Might it be due to you first used it with sudo that now the files in that folder no longer belongs to you? I have ~/.config/libreoffice/3 and ~/.config/libreoffice/4 and all the files inside are owned by me and from my group. Could you check the owner and the access rights? E.g.: $ ls -l /home/edos/.config/libreoffice $ ls -l /home/edos/.config/libreoffice/3 $ ls -l /home/edos/.config/libreoffice/3/user
