Thank you, Nik!

Only gtk-qt-engine-trinity was installed -- but, then, you knew only one
would be there - didn't you?  :-)

This scared me:
 |The following packages will be REMOVED:
 |  gtk-qt-engine-trinity kubuntu-desktop-trinity
 |After this operation, 573 kB disk space will be freed.

At first glance it seemed all of the Trinity TDE would be removed.
But, no.  Trinity may be small, tight, and fast -- but it sure is NOT
just 573 kB!  :-)

So, after removing gtk-qt-engine-trinity & kubuntu-desktop-trinity,
Moneydance now comes up without any error(s).  We've yet to see if it
actually runs properly.  My wife will need to export files from her old
XP box and then we'll try to import them on the Ubuntu/Trinity machine.

But, I do have a new question: What functionality or feature(s) have I
lost by removing gtk-qt-engine-trinity and kubuntu-desktop-trinity?
The names certainly _sound_ important.  I haven't yet see anything
"different" in operations in the short period of time after the removals.

Again, Thank you!
Jonesy
