Recently, when logging into my main ID on my new

several messages about something called r14-xdg-update. The text of the
first one is
The r14-xdg-update script has been run at least
once.
The script is not successfully updating.
The script will run with each login until corrected.
Please contact an administrator or take appropriate administrative action
to correct the problem. The error code is 9.
Searching the list archive, I found a few references to this script, but
little useful information about it aside from the information that error
code 9 has something to do with file privileges. There seems to be nothing
in the documentation about this script, which seems to perform some sort of
updates to the Trinity configuration. From the effects that it has had on
my system, I would say that there needs to be something written up and
placed into the user doecumentation about this. So far it has wiped out my
desktop settings and recently it made all of my kmail (configuration,
folders and contents) disappear. What do I need to do to fix this? I'm
afraid to log into any of my secondary IDs for fear that they will be
corrupted as well. The vague description of error code 9 gives me little
to go on. What file privileges need to be set, for what files or
directories? What exactly is r14-xdg-update trying to do?

I'm also getting this message at login:
Some Trinity R14 XDG compliance updates failed.
Check applications-tdemenuedit.menu for '<Filename>kde-' in
/var/tmp/tdecache-leslie/r14-xdg-update-validation-test9.txt.
I have attached the above file for review. What directory would these files reside in?
