I don't really have the time at work to go on a fishing expedition for what might be wrong, but I'm happy to try specific tests if anybody wants to suggest any. I haven't had this kind of problem on previous upgrades. I usually upgrade X while it's running, and with the exception of XFree86 3 -> 4 this has been fine in the past.
