Wiki.trinity.desktop.org: "TDE will automatically execute a script which will migrate as many of your KDE3/TDE3.5.x settings as possible. At the end of the process, your KDE3/TDE3.5.x profile will still exist (unchanged) and a new TDE profile will have been created inside the ~/.trinity folder." Nowhere is stated, that TDE and KDE can not coexist! Any more suggestions? Regards.
