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

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.
