WIth ubuntu 8.10, I've had a problem  with Pidgin sound and pulse-audio creating a huge memory leak.  But settinng pidgin to use Alsa solves that.  That's about the only problem I've had with any of my hardware.  Xubuntu is a stripped-down implementation, and that may be part of your issue.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
