Well, this is embarrassing...
Sometime, long, long ago, I somehow configured TDE so that when I log in, it automatically starts yakuake on my desktop.
I now want to change the binary that is executed (I have multiple versions installed, and just want to switch to a different version of yakuake). But I can't see where I am telling TDE to run yakuake, so that I can change the command to use a different binary.
I've flailed around on the web, trying to discover all the places where I might have put the command that tells TDE to run yakuake. https://www.trinitydesktop.org/faq/configure.php#idm140487997734752 says that there are "several" ways to start a program on log-in, but then lists only two, and it seems neither of those two are the one that is causing yakuake to run.
So suggestions as to where I might look to see where I have this configured would be much appreciated.

If all else fails, grep -r yakuake ~ and then look at the output.
But if you have a lot of files, you might want to first try grep -r yakuake ~/.config ~/.trinity ~/.tde*
In fact, maybe you want to try that first anyway.
Good luck.

I had tried grepping just the ~/.trinity hierarchy before posting here, having completely forgotten that TDE puts important configuration files in other trees.
I found the reference to yakuake in the ~/.config tree. Thank you very much.

Doc,
glad you found it, and you're very welcome.
