Re: [trinity-devel] OnlyShowIn vs. NotShowIn - tde-devels

...
 We would need upstream acceptance of TDE in affected
projects for 
this to be viable.  If this is not done, then users will notice a  degraded
...
 experience when basic programs such as Synaptic cease
to function
properly.  These users would then note that such applications work
properly under KDE, and logically conclude that TDE is broken.

I think this is a lesser of two evils problem, and would like to 
keep the dual test in at this point.

Thoughts from others knowledgeable in this area? 
This should not be about lesser evils. Ugly approach! :)

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.
