First is the tde desktop looks a bit strange.

When I installed, because getting rid of gnome is such a pain in the ass, 
I chose xfce4 during the install, and although I've installed several 
hundred of the core trinity bits, I still have an xfce4 desktop.

/etc/X11/default-display-manager says twm.  /etc/init.d has lightdm.

I'm getting the tde login but am not getting tde.  And I can't run a root 
session in a Konsole, display 10 no perms.

I guess thats more than two problems. Do I rip lightdm out by its hair 
with an rm to it in etc/init.d or what to actually get a tde x session 
running?

Cheers, Gene Heskett
