I did.

I added the edgers sources do my sources.list, imported the key and apt-get updated/upgraded without incident. Upon restart, gdm came up fine, but, after login, the screen went blank and the mouse pointer clipped at 800x600. Restarting under xfce yielded a workable desktop, but without the second monitor. Gnome's gnome-display-properties found the second screen and was able to set it up, but, still, on Gnome, the screen was blank and the mouse got clipped. Deleting the xorg.conf file and restarting Gnome let me in a very weird screen with displaced bars and pointer (clicks were happening a couple hundred pixels up from the pointer).

I downgraded the packages back to former configuration, deleted xorg.conf and everything worked fine.

I made a small movie of the mouse movement clipping and of the displaced elements.

Interestingly enough, now, with Compiz off, everything works fine - screenshots and mouse movement are absolutely perfect (if boring)

I will attach the images. Let me know if you want the movie. I am reluctant to attach a 7.5 megabyte file.
