Sorry I read the thread too fast, in fact I was answering to "Eren".
My instructions are still valid if you don't install KDE3.
I will look why it fails when KDE3 is installed, but I'm pretty sure I 
will find a shitty kde3-related script (in /etc/profile.d/ I guess), 
which hardcodes environment variables to force the use of KDE3, and 
prevent Trinity to start.
