My problems weren't minor, as in all my apps were completely hosed, including 
standard Ubuntu supplied stuff. It took me a long time googling to figure out 
how to get it to recognize my display again. The final straw was it completely 
trashed my install of VMware, wiping out all my virtual OS boxes. Bah. No more 
Ubuntu upgrades for me.

And before anyone asks, no, I was not running a tweaked Ubuntu system. It's all 
vanilla, right out of the box.
