I love TDE but over the years I've seen some issues. I've ap plied workarounds  with varying levels of success.

Right now simply running twin and tde's kalarm withn xfce4 generate a lot of trinity-child logs. .xsession-errors is at least 600 megs.

I installed a fresh installation of bionic. Got TDE to work properly as it's own environment. Mounted my homedir and that is when the blank configuration menus happened again. I even made a new .trinity on that home drive but it still behaved the same. unmounting the home hard drive and letting it run off of the homedir bionic's fresh install made seemed to have fixed it.

Are there any other directories that effect the entire environment besides .trinity?
