I don't agree.  I have just recently installed Squeeze with Trinity.  I took 
extreme care not to install  _anything_ of KDE4, since I knew that it was apt 
to get its claws in, and did not want to have to remove it - with the kind of 
problems that Paul is experiencing.  I did not install Gnome either.

I have a fair amount of KDE4 cruft which I shall have to remove.   Something 
clearly dragged it in, or it piggy-backed on something - for my money the 
second is more likely.
