Re: [trinity-users] Wifi connection problem on new ThinkPad

Another thought or two: In my experience some gtk versions of
graphical frontends
work better with Trinity than kde4 versions. Wicd has gtk and kde4 frontends.

Same thing is true of ubiquity installer frontends I use with Remastersys. In
this case I had to modify the remastersys main script to prevent it
from installing
the kde4 frontend (which doesn't work with Trinity at all).
