Everything is working well.
An observation: backports has udev 0.8x. The latest version conflicts with gnome. udev 0.79 does not. I have installed it and put it on hold, so that during upgrades, I do not lose it :-) Another thing that I noticed is that Ubuntu dapper which ships with gnome 2.14 still has udev 0.79.
