Tim, All,

  Just dropping a note: TDE based on TQt is up and running fine on Archlinux. I
had to use xinit (startx) to bring it up due to the tdm bug filling the tdm.log.
One thing all packages need to remember is to install a reasonable set of fonts
along with the tdebase package so that TDE doesn't look horrible when it is
first started. (dejavu package that all distros have is fine as a dependency).
Pretty impressive, git and TQt and .... trinity still works :)
