X doesn't work *at all*.
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
Press enter many times
Kill X and GDM via ssh session because consoles are locked up (Alt-F1, etc don't work).
Start GDM, login, seems to be working ok now.
I ran into this a few months ago as I was following the Breezy Tree. It seemed to be related to X changing its font locations, which confused it a little. I took pretty much the same approach.. Kill GDM via ssh, lots of fiddling around then just give up and reconfigure X Alastair
