Well, it seems that a few long-standing issues have resolved for me since upgrading to testing/unstable:
- Wireless, as noted. - Video wouldn't update following hibernate restore, or exiting an X11 session without killing/restarting X server. - Video would lock hard displaying movies (variously flash / xine / mplayer, reduced size or full-screen). Very nice. KDE seems to have jumped the shark again, either following GNOME's lead or drawing it after, but that I really don't care about nearly so much.
