I performed an upgrade this morning, and have so far had several issues that are driving me nuts. First off, after I logged in for the first I found that I had no panels -- gnome-panel (and its dependencies) hadn't been installed. Upon installing them, I found I had a weird mix of GNOME 2 and 3 in its looks. My launchers in the panel were gone, as were the sensor/CPU scaling applets (lm-sensor hadn't been installed). I had to install the DVD playback support again (though I guess that's not surprising). I can/not/ change the default media player from Banshee to Totem, even though I've changed that setting. Also, Banshee still disappears when I click its close button, so I end up with a song playing from nowhere; I have to kill it from the System Monitor. And now I've found that when a new disk is inserted (e.g. CD, DVD, USB) they don't appear on the desktop. I'm serious considering a fresh install, rather than an upgrade; it might work better. Then again, it might pick up the old settings from the hidden folders in my /home directory. Anyone else had these (or similar) problems? Sandy
