When I have some time later in the week, when I can do the TDE installation without time pressure, I'll do so. I honestly don't expect to care about KDE5 after the installation is done, but I am still appropriately paranoid :-) Although I can always fall back to i3 :-) [I have one machine that is still running KDE3, and every time I use that machine the experience is vastly more pleasant than either KDE4 or (in my opinion, unusable) KDE5.] > > I can run the best KDE4 apps, such as Konqueror-KDE4, in Trinity, and thus get > the best of both worlds, by putting the appropriate path for the KDE4 version > in the Command field for a new menu item in Menu Editor.

Of course, this assumes that when you press the K button, you actually get a menu ... which is not a given on the KDE[5] I'm running! Sometimes it gets itself into a state where pressing the K button simply changes the K icon (it puts a little bar under it), but doesn't actually pop up a menu. I'll be so glad to go back to a desktop that behaves itself. Doc -- Web: http://enginehousebooks.com/drevans
