upgrading to fiesty

[DX]

I must say I'm pretty impressed.

I'm using kinda of an old laptop: Thinkpad R32. It seams beryl was
upgraded and it works much faster than it used too,at least for me.
Everything in general seams to run faster and more smooth. I haven't run
all my programs yet but I ran my most common and they all work fine with
a few exceptions. 

I have found some problems with my installation. First most noticeable
is that gdesklets are gone. I know that's something they haven't really
been working on for a while but there were a few that still worked and I
often used. Not they are gone and I'm not quite sure why, I'll have to
look into that. The next major negative change I noticed is that I had a
program called webilder and that no longer works. It was a cool program
too, made my desktop interesting, so now I have to figure out what
happen there too. Finally, the other problem that I found is evolution.
For some reason its having sync problems and I'm getting a set of few
e-mails over and over again. 

Other than that, everything seams to be running fine. I guess I would
suggest you upgrade first and if not all goes well (or at least fixable)
than just do a clean install.  Let me know how things go for you. Best
of luck :)
