You don't need multiple workspaces to get more than one shell. Open one terminal/console in the GUI, then open multiple tabs. Or open one terminal/console in the GUI, then open another one. Right now, I'm running Xfce and I have five terminals running with sixteen tabs. And that's unusually low for me, I normally have a lot more than that. > My 7 gigs of old mail is because there are several lists I've never > expired, so of it going back to 2002.

I am confident that your 7 gigs of mail has nothing to do with you being unable to install TDE. As far as your mail goes, that's just data. I am also confident that trying to install both TDE and KDE 5 at the same time it likely to cause grief. As far as your mail goes, if I recall, you have regular on-going problems with mail due to its huge size. Are your mailboxes mbox files or maildir directories? If mbox, that would explain a lot. After you have fixed your TDE breakage, I suggest you consider installing Postfix and Dovecot on your machine, moving all your mail into Dovecot using maildir format, and configuring your mail clients (Kmail, or whatever) to talk to your Dovecot. Other people have successfully managed 40GB of mail using Dovecot: https://dovecot.dovecot.narkive.com/9SeC39Mq/mailbox-size-limit so I don't think 7GB will push its limits. But that's a conversation for another day, *after* you have fixed your broken TDE/Xfce installation.
