hi,

first of all I'd like to say how much I apprechiate you folks taking up the task of maintaining and keeping kde 3.5x spirit alive! I love this desktop and would be very happy to see new versions without the kde4.x bloat overhead.

I've struggeled to compile trinity (tqinterface, kdelibs, kdebase) from scratch on my gentoo box using the latest svn. However I've got it compiled but I'm not quite sure if everything is good. Could you please post some kind of a howto, including dependencies issues. the obsolete documentation on the kde website won't do.

Trinity starts up fine however my problem is that the kdesktop seems to give up on X11 after starting up:

Maybe a howto will point to my mistake. Otherwise any help would be very much apprechiated.

Best Regards
