Who upstream is making this problematic? Is this a
Debian-only
issue? Is this only a packaging issue? Please explain more. What
exactly is needed to provide remedy?
Trinity is recognized as an XDG desktop. Upstream, whoever they
might be, need to get on board. I doubt "upstream" has failed to
support other XDG recognized desktops. TDE != KDE. :)
I created a tdelibs patch and am rebuilding now. I'll start
testing thereafter.
I updated the patch by adding a -DWITH_OLD_XDG_STD configure option
works great. No KDE4 apps autostart, no problems with desktop files
in ~/.local/share/applications or $TDEDIRS.
Should upstream problems continue then this patch seems like a fair
compromise until those problems disappear.
I have not tested by building tdelibs with -DWITH_OLD_XDG_STD,
which retains the current dual behavior.
