Yes. TDE supports for the X composite extension and provides its own compositor. This allows for effects such as translucency and drop shadows for all windows, easily configurable through TWin's configuration dialog. For those using an xorg.conf file, be sure the following is included:

Section "Extensions"

Option  "Composite" "Enable"

EndSection

Use KMenuEdit. To access it use the right mouse button on the T button and select Menu Editor.

Yes, and it is none other than your favorite file manager, Konqueror. You can drag and drop remote files into local folders.

On the panel (kicker) use the left mouse button to select the T button and select Log Out.... Another method is to use the right mouse button to select an empty area of the desktop, which opens a popup menu, containing Log Out... as one of the options. Another option is to use a keyboard shortcut, which on many systems is Ctrl+Alt+Delete. A fourth option is to add the Lock/Logout button applet.

Note

Depending on your configuration of the X Window System, Ctrl+Alt+Backspace might also exit TDE by killing the X server, but using that shortcut prevents session management and is recommended only for emergencies.

KOrn will do the job. If you are not connected, it will just sit there (idling).

We recommend updating to the latest stable release, or at least to stay within a release version. Otherwise, getting answers to questions might be challenging. Each release always contains bug fixes and enhancements. Often a problem with an old version has been fixed in a more recent release. Newer versions also fix security problems. Only seldom are bug and security fixes backported to older releases.

The simplest method is to use your mouse:

1. Highlight the text you want to copy by holding down the left mouse button and dragging across the text. This adds the selected text to the clipboard.

2. Go to the destination area; depending on your configuration, you might need to click it using the left mouse button to give it focus.

3. Click the middle mouse button to paste. If you have a two button mouse and are emulating a three button mouse, push both buttons simultaneously.

The standard keyboard shortcuts for copying is Ctrl+C, to cut is Ctrl+X, and to paste is Ctrl+V.

TDE provides a multiple layer clipboard called Klipper. Refer to the Klipper Handbook for further information.

Click on the T button and select System->Appfinder.

GIT is a distributed version control and source code management system. GIT is used to maintain source code under development. The TDE developers use GIT.

The Trinity developers strive for a six to nine month schedule but that is not rigid or set in stone.

Not at this time.

No. The TDE team suggests a tablet-centric interface such as Unity, KDE4, or GNOME 3 for those devices.

The Trinity team developed a new native hardware support layer that is under testing. That new system will be enabled by default in a future release, but is available now in the development sources.
