I said "Damn the torpedoes" and went ahead and upgraded. So far I
haven't noticed any problems. I run a testing machine with a handful of
unstable programs (notably Gnucash). Remember that I might not be
running the same apps as you.

There was a recent thread on the Gnucash mailing list where someone was
using Gnome 2, whereas Gnucash was using Gnome 1. Here's the workaround
that was offered, maybe it's appropriate here:

Organization:
If you run Debian unstable, there should be a file called
.gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 in your home directory. This file calls a file called
.gtkrc.mine, which probably does not exist in your home directory. You
can create this file and put gtkrc directions in it. Don't ask me about
the syntax, because I have no idea, but any gtk programmer or the gtk
manual should be able to tell you. This is what I put in my .gtkrc.mine
file, because I need support for Unicode fonts:
style "user-font"
{
fontset="-gnu-unifont-medium-r-normal-*-*-160-*-*-c-*-iso10646-1"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"
Don't use this font setting if your environment is not set up for
Unicode, instead replace the font by some of your liking with your
encoding!

I haven't run a pure unstable system yet, but it seems to me that
testing is a nice compromise between stability and bleeding edge.

Hope the feedback is helpful...
p.s. Your name is awfully familiar, do I know you from some other
context?
