I just installed smartmontools and gsmartcontrol on one of my Debian systems and it will not launch from the TDE menu. When I then attempted to launch as sudo from a terminal window, this was the result:
sudo gsmartcontrol No protocol specified Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
(gsmartcontrol:3280): Gtk-WARNING **: 08:04:14.299: cannot open display: :0
Is this not compatible with Trinity?

Is this a graphical application? If yes and if it needs root permissions to run, then TDESU might be worth a try.
"No protocol specified" in my experience means that the $DISPLAY variable is not set.

Yes, graphical. Running 'tdesu gsmartcontrol' successfully launched it. Thank you.
