Video driver improvement is the biggie for me. I now get acceptable GL 
performance from my Mobility Radeon with the free driver radeonhd.
I plan to get Drishti running after all these months with a laptop 
theoretically capable of supporting it(after I submit my thesis)!

Had two glitches after the upgrade. One was really weird when latex 
couldn't find my agsm.bst. I even embarrassed myself by reporting it as 
a bug. It worked later(I recalling having run pdflatex at the wrong time 
during the upgrade). *facepalm*

Next glitch was with the video driver. The cursor goes invisible after 
suspend/resume. It reappears after some video events which I have not 
nailed down. It is visible across last night's suspend, so it is going 
to take a bit of time to quantify.

I have posted a description on the Ubuntu Desktop Forum before I raise 
the bug. No responses yet
