Screen captures would help much. :)

I never tested the waters of the 3.5.13.2 branch, but seems that
once we go into RC status then that is an appropriate time to
create the R14.0.0 branch rather than when officially released.
That would mean backporting patches, but eventually we have to do
that anyway with the maintenance releases. Perhaps a compromise is
to create the R14.0.0 branch at RC3 rather than RC1. Then we have
to backport patches only for the last few bug fix patches of RC3.
Just thinking out loud.

I cannot replicate this. Tooltips appear in front of the dialog.
Interestingly, tooltips do not appear for all buttons. (Probably
none in the code.)
I am not using any theme.
I can't test tsak: I built without that support.

As Michele explained, users no longer update the files from KDE.
When users now update the files from within kate the files are
downloaded from the git tree and not KDE.
Michele manually checks the KDE site for updates at their end and
then merges pertinent changes into our files. Our files have become
a tad customized for Trinity. A direct update from KDE kills all of
that. From now on there will be differences from our files and
those in KDE. The content of some xml files will be different, some
version numbers will be different, etc.
After R14.0.0 is released this doesn't affect active git users but
will affect eventual official release users. If you are a git user
then you will be current every time you sync your local tree and
build new packages. Official release users will still have to
update manually through kate, but their downloads will connect to
the Trinity git tree and not KDE.

All,
Another issue I need to chase is tdenetworkmanager crashing as soon as TDE
starts. When I launch TDE, I'm greeted by a dailog telling me that
tdenetworkmanager died: attached. .xsession-errors has very little information
on the event:
[dcopserver] DCOP aborting call from 'anonymous-1023' to 'tdenetworkmanager'
ERROR: Communication problem with tdenetworkmanager, it probably crashed.
[kcrash] TDECrash: crashing... crashRecursionCounter = 2
[kcrash] TDECrash: Application Name = tdenetworkmanager path = <unknown> pid = 1027
[tdeinit] Got EXEC_NEW 'drkonqi' from socket.
[tdeinit] drkonqi is executable. Launching.
[FIXME] HardwareInfo::setPowerSave unimplemented!
I'll rebuild with full debug and reinstall and see if I can find out where it
is crashing, but beyond that, I'm not sure what else to check in tde to see if
more information can be found. Any ideas?

Tim, Darrell, Slavek, All,
I have artsd running on this install, but kmix cannot find any sound backend
running:
449 ? S 0:03 \_ tdelauncher [tdeinit] --new-startup
460 ? S 0:24 \_ twin [tdeinit] -session
10d7cdd8c9000139108311200000009720000_1391
479 ? S 1:32 \_ /opt/trinity/bin/artsd -F 10 -S 4096 -s 60 -m
artsmessage -c drkonqi -l 3 -f
kmix has the red crossed-out circle over it in the tray and when opened, you
have no option of choosing any backend sound server. I have screenshot of them
both.
What should I attempt to try and get kmix working?

Tim, Darrell, Slavek,
Going through kcontrol printer configuration, I was hit with an error that
cups could not be found (see attached dialog). That was strange because cupsd
was running:
[15:49 valhalla:/home/david] # systemctl status cups -l
cups.service - CUPS Printing Service
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/cups.service; enabled)
Active: active (running) since Thu 2014-01-30 14:13:50 CST; 1h 37min ago
Main PID: 839 (cupsd)
CGroup: /system.slice/cups.service
└─839 /usr/bin/cupsd -f
Do you have any ideas why kprinter configuration would not be able to see cups?

It appears that if a basket notpads file was saved in tde prior to R14, it
cannot be opened again in basket notepads in R14 without breaking the ability to
configure basket notepads.
The error that appears in basket is odd:
Library files for "kcm_basket.la" not found in paths.
Possible reasons:
- An error occurred during your last TDE upgrade leaving an orphaned control
module
- You have old third party modules lying around.
All of the configuration abilities for basket are just gone... Screenshot attached.
