Tim, Robert, Serghei, all

  Is there a way to tell Trinity to ignore all the kde4 junk in
/usr/share/autostart? (other than uninstalling kde4) I say this because I just
took all my binary packages and installed them on a box with both a prior kde3
install (in /opt/kde) and a kde4 install (/usr/bin) and things were wild to say
the least.

  I moved both existing ~/.kde and ~/.kde4 directories to ~/.kde-sav and
~/.kde4-sav before launching Trinity. (I forgot to delete the ksycoca from
/var/tmp though and I suspect that caused 90% of the problem)

  Trinity started just fine and did the initial configuration. Then ksplash from
the old kde3 install appeared. Then akonadi/nepomuk started trying to index
everything, then the kde4 plasma-panel loaded over the Trinity kicker and all
the window decorations were gone.

  I suspect Trinity was trying to pull the decorations from the old kde3 install
due to the sysconfigcache in /var/tmp (I'll try deleting that next time), but
the real issue is the kde4 autostart mess:

  In order to make Trinity play nicely with an existing kde4 install, can
something be changed in the Trinity code to tell it to ignore all the kde4
autostart files?
