It could be that one of the other desktops are interfering with TDE; however, 
Gnome and LXDE usually cause only relatively minor issues (in my experience). 
But Openbox (I seem to recall), did cause me problems, and I have never used 
since, maybe five years ago. 

Before doing anything too extreme, though, since you are on a Debian system, 
try running this command (as root, that is sudo or su): 

dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity

If this does not help, then it may be that you need to use dpkg again for 
manual purging of another version of desktop-base, to make sure that 
desktop-base-trinity is used instead. Or at least, this is what I have to do. 
But try dpkg-reconfigure first, then consider your next step.
