Hi Dave, AFAIK all of TDE has been re-named so that it does not interfere with, or is interfered by, KDE. Slávek would have the definitive answer. I’m going to guess that not installing all of TDE caused the odd behavior. I would try creating a live USB (Fedora 37 w/ KDE5) and then install all of TDE to it for testing. > > Having KDE 5 installed before installing TDE seems to have resulted > > in some confusion.

That would be normal until you re-configure the startup splash screen from using KDE to using TDE's [login manager?] (I don't know the actual name of that). > > But some parts of TDE don't work as expected.

I've done this in the past as well. I do remember that a few programs would only not cause problems if the were run in a different Desktop (which I thought was weird, but 'eh, it worked).
