Yes, read my previous post. The cache is only part of the cleanup. Users still need to update their profile configuration files as I mentioned with the two sed searches.

If you use an existing Trinity profile, then after applying the XDG-KDE-TDE patches and installing the updated packages, you have to delete the cache AND apply the sed searches.

Do not use the same profile used in a production environment because after applying the sed searches, the profile configuration files won't work with versions of Trinity that do not use the XDG-KDE-TDE updates.

Everything works after purging the cache and applying the sed searches.

This is why I ask for help in learning how to automate the process of updating the user's profile directory. Just like previous KDE point releases, this is a one way trip.

I do all of this only in a testing environment. When we go live with R14, updating the user's profile has to happen quietly for the user, just like with previous KDE3 updates.
