9:54 a.m.
I just upgraded kdm-trinity
from: 3.5.13-0debian9+r1261450+pr19~squeeze
to: 3.5.13-1debian0+ax3~squeeze
and also, kdmtheme-trinity
from: 3.5.13-0debian9+r1248408+pr1~squeeze
to: 3.5.13-1debian0+ax1~squeeze
And now themes do not seem to be working at all.
I also noticed that the rather long and profusely commented
/etc/trinity/kdm/kdmrc
was overwritten by kcontrol in admin mode when changing themes
Any suggestions for making themes work again?
Thanks!

New subject: KMail: "Unable to complete LIST operation"
As KMail was my main reason for trialling Trinity, I'm really enjoying its proper and
zippy performance.
But just one 'fly in the ointment':
Sometimes when requesting 'Fetch Mail' it comes back with this error that I
have never seen before (KDE3 or 4):
"'Invalid response from server:
Unable to complete LIST operation"
Googling for this shows there was an old bug report:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127696
Until today it has always then worked with a repeat 'Fetch Mail', but today KMail
just locked up.
(So I re-booted into Mandriva 2010.2; it's KDE4 KMail did not complain when asked
to Fetch Mail...)
Why is this happening with Trinity's KMail? (On Mageia-2)

"'Invalid response from server:
Unable to complete LIST operation"
I've just noticed that that error has not recurred since I
disabled 'Leave Messages on Server"...
So it seems the bug is still there when that is Enabled.
(Only if?)

Sadly it recurred just now, and 'Leave Messages on Server' is still
disabled.
More seriously, shortly after that when KMail received incoming emails
they were shown (in Inbox) with *empty* Subject, Date, From, and To
fields, with the Source of the message as the Body...
(This included a test email that I sent to myself.)
However, after logging out and back in again, the situation has reverted
to normal.
Has anyone seen such a thing before? I haven't.
As KMail (1.9.10) was my main reason for trialling Trinity (3.5.13.1),
I am becoming very uneasy with its stability*, and am considering giving
up on Trinity - which I do not want to do..
(* I've noticed that KMail tends to misbehave immediately after the
spurious "Unable to comoplete LIST operation' warning.)

Meaning there will be an updated version of KMail on the Trinity
repository?
It would be good to be rid of that spurious error, but what is really
worrying is what followed (blank header fields in newly fetched email).
I'll wait and see if it recurs with the modified KMail.
Many thanks!

I looked at the history of the errors were resolved in svn commit:
http://websvn.kde.org/?revision=766946&view=revision
It is therefore a code that is already included in the TDE. For this reason,
the error seems to be interesting bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=600907
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=230072

Fix from KDE SVN commit 1156867 I pushed into R14 (as well as into v3.5.13-sru

there has also been used memmove - not memcpy. From this perspective, the
solution seems to be correct - after all, is also in KDE4.
Note: Soon I'll release test packages for 3.5.13.2, in which fix will be

If you are using KDE3 / Trinity, so this patch was incorporated today == in

But that's the 'LIST' bug.
The killer for me was the other bug I described earlier today whereby
newly-fetched email is show in Inbox with *empty headers* and the whole
source file shown as the body.
In all my years of using KMail, I have never seen either error before...

Yes, I wanted to suggest that as a workaround one could use fetchmail to
download the mails, procmail for local delvery and kmail for reading and
writing.
But some users have strong objections against a daemon fetching their mail, so
maybe an other client gives a better feeling ... where one has to keep in
mind that changing from maildir to mailbox format bears its own pitfalls like
loosing any mail in one dark black moment ;-)
