Problems with crashes GTK programs I have seen only if I had installed kgtk-qt3-trinity (and related), which replacing dialog boxes. But with gtk-qt-engine-trinity, which only changes the appearance of gui widgets, it does not fall.
Note: These problems apparently not related to the update 3.5.13.1.

This is a great piece of information. For month I was not able to use
* lazarus-ide * dropbox * calibre
as a normal user. The only work-arround was using 'sudo NAMEOFAPPLICATION'.
You saved my live! I've googled a lot to know what could be the culprit without success. Uninstalling kgtk-qt3-trinity brought all back to normal. What a big step forward!
kgtk-qt3-trinity should not be installed by default. Or there should be a big warning on the www.trinitydesktop.org page!
Thanks a lot from a now more happy TDE user Gerhard
If it's of any help, I install TDE selectively and don't have kgtk-qt3-trinity installed, I do have gtk-qt-engine-trinity. Almost all gtk stuff works fine here (except zenity radiolist)
I use also xfce but find TDE (especially with Slavek's patches) preferable for everyday use and stable enough.
Whatever is causing login failures, Segfault xsetroot, dcopserver... for my package setup at least there are no such problems.
