I don't know about the xterm issues. I recall once while updating packages that my konsole turned to a white background (I use black). I just tried an xterm in Trinity and got the standard white background.

I don't have anything in my KDE3 gwenview Plugins/Effects menu either. I don't think anything has ever been in that one menu item, but I'm not a graphics junkie to know. The remainder of the gwenview Plugins meny is populated in KDE3 and empty in Trinity.

The reason is digikam and gwenview both are broken with respect to kipi-plugins. In the Settings options for both there are no kipi-plugins items available. The challenge now is to discover why.

In digikam I found a number of inadvertent TQt changes. I'm amazed the package built at all. I am working on cleaning that and rebuilding. My Trinity kipi-plugins package looks much the same as my KDE3 package so I'm unsure whether the problem is kipi-plugins.
