kgtk-qt3-trinity is the real problem; gtk-qt-engine-trinity is relatively
innocuous but can still caus redraw problems in the latest Firefox
versions due to some unknown optimization Firefox now uses.

The metapackage issues have been corrected for R14.0, with
kgtk-qt3-trinity being completely removed due to the GTK3 transition which
is now in progress.  If you want to use TDE open/save dialogs in GTK
programs, please tell the GTK developers to add the proper support here:
