very strange it works here. 

when you have time look at what Slavek wrote

well, if kgtk-qt3-trinity is not installed, here is another potential 
source of problems: gtk-qt-engine-trinity and gtk3-tqt-engine-trinity. In 
Trinity Control Center, check the GTK engine setting and set it to 
another engine, than QT-Engine and TQT-Engine.
