Hi Gene,

Seems I did defeat it. I installed the latest Raspbian (based on Stretch) and 
it did install the Pi user. I then renamed the user and the home directory, 
changed the primary group to users.

Everything worked except this recuring kpersonalizer thing. I checked the 
kpersonalizerrc file, but it was correct.

In the end I removed the execution permission to kpersonalizer 
un /opt/trinity/bin and it seems to do the trick: I can log normaly into my 
user.
