Maybe when kdelibs or kdebase gets built and the install prefix is set: (i.e. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${trinity_prefix} where trinity_prefix=/opt/trinity or /opt/kde3 etc), we set the Trinity autostart directory to: ${trinity_prefix}/share/autostart I think it is imperative we find a way to prevent the kde4 autostart files from running when you launch Trinity. Also, I don't know if this can be handled with a simple modification to the startup script "startkde" from kdebase? If so then setting the Trinity autostart dir when kdebase is built seems like the easy way to handle this. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
