The good:- Faster bootup.
- Very fast switching between X and a VT.
- Firefox 3.5 is much faster than 3.0.
- Most Thinkpad extra keys now work great out of the box.
- Cool desktop backgrounds.
The bad:- X11 looked funny. Turns out no themes were installed. Had to install gnome-themes.
- Got a bunch of warnings from udev on bootup, coming from z60_xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules, so I purged xserver-xorg-input-wacom.
- The ACPI hotkey events changed names, so some hooks I had set up in /etc/acpi/events stopped working until I updated the names.
- EmulateWheel setting in xorg.conf no longer works. xinput works. I installed gpointing-device-settings, which is a very convenient solution.
- Alt_R keycode is now 108 instead of 113.
The ugly:- X wouldn't start. Turns out it was because gdm wasn't installed. Why did gdm get removed during upgrade? Maybe it wanted to replace it with gdm3? But it didn't install gdm3.
