Basically, I couldn't reconfigure, reinstall, purge and reinstall tdm,
reconfigure and use LightDM, purge and use LightDM, I couldn't do anyhting
without getting an error message about PID 0.
As in this (left hand edge is missing):
------------------------------------------------
# aptitude reinstall tdm-trinity
up tdm-trinity 94:14.0.1~pre21-0debian8.0.0.2~a)...
top-daemon:pid value must be a number greater than 0
start-stop-daemon --help for more information
----------------------------------------------
And I couldn't - and this is totally mad - purge LXDE to the point where it
wouldn't be brought up in as an emergency offering. I could find no way of
getting back to TDE, and I kept getting this wretched message about PID 0. I
thought that if I purged LXDE it would have to give me TDE - or only the CLI.
But it went on booting into LXDE. :-(
Here is the beginning of the thread on this list.

I didn't try Darac's suggestion, because it had been going on for a long time
by then, and I could barely see what I was doing. So I'm afraid that that
was the point at which I chickened out and reinstalled.
Here are two of teh threads on the Trinity DE list:

I have now, of course, reinstalled. Though it would be nice to think that I
don't have to reinstall next time I make a mistake. ;-)
I have made this mistake a number of times over the years. It has never
before been a problem to sort out.
