Its a bit off-topic, but for my Dell Inspiron laptop, the upgrade has brought the correct behaviour for my brightness keys back, something that had not happened since 7.04 (light changed four times in a row each time one of those keys where pressed). Just wanted to mention that to ask the developers to be a little carefull when solving your problem ;-). Good luck with it!
