I had the impression that the Trinity desktop is KDE3 whereas the Trinity applications are KDE4, which are more advanced and better than the KDE3 ones. > > (It's a pity that Amarok-KDE4 won't run with Trinity, because it's > > amazing!

So Trinity users should be prepared for trouble, and not expect a stable system? Those KDE4-menu entries introduce an element of bugginess, in an otherwise perfectly stable system. That's how it seems to me. Happy bug hunting, Volker
