I updated the patch by adding a -DWITH_OLD_XDG_STD configure option works great. No KDE4 apps autostart, no problems with desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications or $TDEDIRS. Should upstream problems continue then this patch seems like a fair compromise until those problems disappear. I have not tested by building tdelibs with -DWITH_OLD_XDG_STD, which retains the current dual behavior. Darrell
