Hey Buddy, when i did the up grade something broke on my system, not sure exactly what was it. there was changes made from jaunty to karmic, i remember installing Karmic from scratch, maybe that why mines wook out good but still got a few errors while i did so so i made i clean install. I recommend you do a clean install, also you shuld back up your /etc/ files if needed, and most important separate your home in a partition that way u can all ways do clean install with out the need of backing up you personal files or all the users on your computer, this been working great for me, since i started doing it, if some thing happen with in your desktop configuartion, all u mae need to do is reset it by deleting the following hidden folders ,gnome2, .gnome2_private, .gconf, ,gconfd, .cconfig, Those steps will allow you to reset ur desktop and Gnome apps settings, incase u don't know how to separet ur home directoy here are tow videos that maight help http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40ijcL4YfSc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9SUEH27EDk
Not sure if this will help, but is the best i can do, i had to a clean install, just for me not figuring out that is wrong. it is pain less this way.
