In the past, at least on my own system, I have found this to solve a problem that sounds similar to yours. The default package desktop-base seems to conflict with desktop-base-trinity, although it usually doesn't come up as an error. Other contenders (desktop-base-* for other DEs) might also conflict. Before purging desktop-base (the default), then make sure that desktop-base-trinity is installed. Then run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity" and "sudo dpkg-reconfigure desktop-base-trinity". If I am forced to use another DE as a workaround sometimes, or for purposes of troubleshooting, then I myself would prefer MATE or xfce, as they are the least intrusive, and don't conflict much with TDE.
