When I update Trinity with a big load of new packages, somehow it sets my login and stuff to KDE or maybe Gnome (I don't recognize them any more), but after login still opens in my TDE; however, the login security feature disappears (whatever it's called), and sometimes I end up having to reinstall everything with new packages just to get everything back to normal. This has been a recurring bug, or maybe more than a bug; at any rate, it bugs me a whole lot. Have you tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity"? When I do this, I find that my default desktop has been changed, apparently to KDE, even though I didn't install anything KDE.
