I had no major problems with the dist-upgrade from Progeny to woody. Like Jesse mentioned, my desktop did show only folder icons so I deleted (renamed actually, then deleted a few days later when I was sure everything was ok) the .gnome and .gnome-desktop directories in my home dir, logged out, then logged backed in and Gnome rebuilt the desktop with the correct icons.(found this fix by searching the list archives) I did have to add the few additional icons I had before but that was easy. > woody's version of gdm isn't as "pretty" and it removes the > System menu so you can't reboot from the login screen.
