I spent most of yesterday afternoon and today updating
my
repository and building new packages for the first time since
January. Late today I updated my system with those packages.
A whole bunch of things blew up.
Launch feedback stopped; I was being interrupted continually by
kwallet/tdewallet, which I don't use; mimetypes were screwy; kmail
wanted passwords; and whatever else I'm not remembering now that
I've regained some sanity and composure. I needed about three hours
to repair the confusion as well as debug what happened. Good thing
I have a good backup strategy.
Everything was traceable to the recent renaming rampage.

Was this all traceable to configuration file problems then?
My apologies for the inconvenience caused by the renaming; both Slavek and
I are in general agreement that no matter how painful it might be in the
short term, this renaming project was required for the long-term survival
of the TDE project.
