When is comes to Trinit/KDE4, I thought of the desktop, not the applications. 
I wasn't aware that the KDE3 applications still are around. I had the 
impression that the Trinity desktop is KDE3 whereas the Trinity applications 
are KDE4, which are more advanced and better than the KDE3 ones.

Huh? Are you sure you haven't mistaken the version? I'm running 1.4.10 (on 
Trinity), and there is definitely no feature like that.

I haven't read the archives.

What should I have read?

So Trinity users should be prepared for trouble, and not expect a stable 
system? 

Those KDE4-menu entries introduce an element of bugginess, in an otherwise 
perfectly stable system. That's how it seems to me.


Happy bug hunting,
