No - I did not join this list until Dec.2.

But that thread puzzles me when it says:
   
"KDE3 conflicts with TDE.
Until we find a trick, we cannot use both on the same computer."

as it contradicts what Francois just said:

"...you can have both of them working at the same time." !

So far I am quite happy with TDE on Mageia-2, but I wish I had known 
about your suggestion earlier today:

"Before you login into TDE, switch to tty[1-6] and login as user. Then, 
'cp -a .kde .trinity', go back to login window, log into TDE, and look 
around"!

I have been delaying moving to Mageia-2 because of the poor state of the 
Akonadified KMail, but now with TDE installed I am hoping - after trying 
TDE for a while - to move over to Mageia-2 permanently.

I am assuming I don't *need* to remove any of KDE4...
