Is there a recommended collection of packages for someone who would prefer to add Trinity, rather than have it fully replace, say GNOME? For example, I understand the necessity of replacing sudo, but I don't want to replace my boot splash.

Replace bootsplash? That has never happened to me.

It happened to me. It was the result of installing the basic Trinity Desktop according to the instructions for Squeeze. The cute background image with the Debian rocket is gone when I reboot for a kernel update. There are a few other packages gone, and now apt complains I need to use auto-remove to take out a huge collection of GNOME stuff. I can ignore that, but I'm not liking it. I realize this comes from having installed GNOME desktop first, but I have a strong reason for keeping that as the default.
So the question remains: How much of the Trinity DE do I need to make it functional without breaking the GNOME meta-package?
