You right, but better method to avoid conflicts is to prefix all relevant 
libraries with tde- or trinity-, like tde-kdecore.so or trinity-kdecore.so, 
etc. At least is consistent and predictable.

Even if all changes are documented, coding become harder anyway, because we 
programming with qt/kde for years, and is hard to change our coding style. My 
free time is very limited, so I won't waste it learning new syntax, I want 
just to code, to add value to trinity project. So, if trinity project still 
need my help, it should maintain a more conservative line.


Sorry for my critics, right now i'm angry because I waste few minutes to 
understand why my ksocketdevice.h disapeared :)
