I'm running a Trinty 3.5.13.1 system that I upgraded from Trinity kde3 Trinity 3.5.11 to/through 3.5.12 -- on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
I have a need to mess around with kdeglobals and I discovered this:
jonesy@nix4:~/.kde3/share/config$ ls -ol `locate kdeglobals` | grep jonesy -rw------- 1 jonesy 7333 2012-05-23 17:29 /home/jonesy/.kde3/share/config/kdeglobals -rw------- 1 jonesy 8744 2012-08-01 20:01 /home/jonesy/.trinity/share/config/kdeglobals jonesy@nix4
May of this year is about when I did the Trinity upgrade. Is the /home/jonesy/.kde3/ merely detrius leftover from upgrading from Trinity kde3 3.5.11? I can find nothing in there with a file timestamp past May of this year.
What other detrius might there be?
This probably explains my past failure(s) to get Autostart to function...
Thanks, Jonesy

My guess is that it is left over from your KDE installation when you first migrated to Trinity. I thought 3.5.11 stored user settings in ~/.trinity - John

Maybe you are correct. Tho', I don't remember there ever being a ~/.trinity dir from before. The genesis of this system is a fuzzy memory now. It was built from scratch from a live CD -- either a Lucid + Trinity live CD, or a Lucid kubuntu (kde3) live CD. (Did Lucid kubuntu ever issue with kde3?)
Anyway, what I'll do is rename ~/.kde3/ to ~/.somethingelse/ and run for awhile to look for breakage and/or un-updates (non-Trinity) packages.

Yes .trinity is where you will want stuff and has been for a while. I've upgraded in sequence like you. TBH as long as you haven't yet run any KDE4 apps you can rsync .kde/ to .trinity/ and pretty much pick up your last KDE3 desktop as you left it. Save .trinity first if you like just in case.
