Well, 11.2 works with all additions I made myself
That's a good enough reason :-)
Furthermore, Thunderbird is not working with even a unchanged install
I've been following this discussion on the other thread... and I cannot duplicate the probs. Thunderbird (using IMAP) is critical for me and my job. If it wasn't working, I'd notice immediately... not having any issues at all with it.
I expect that 11.4 is due in another half year or so, maybe when Thunderbird is fixed I switch to 11.3.
Eight months is the official cycle... so... March 2011 if my memory serves me correctly.
By the way: is resolution changing using CTRL-ALT-+/- working? It did not work under 11.3 with the nvidia driver installed. The thing is it is missing the mode settings in the xorg.conf file (so I copied the file from the 11.2 partition). I dislike the use of Kmag because it clutters my screen to much and is not practical when using the full 3360x1050 resolution for an application.
No more xorg.conf, so unless you create your own with all the modelines you want to use, Ctrl+Alt+ +/- does not work (at least not for me). Copying an old xorg.conf over is a recipe for problems in many cases... it does fix a few "corner case" issues with odd configurations, but not the recommended choice (from what I've read/observed) for most users. This is not an 11.3 issue.. this is a major change in how the whole X environment works. This is going to be an issue for you regardless of what Linux distro you use (assuming it's a recently released distro). xrandr is the way it's done now. Guessing.. would it be possible attach something to the old keyboard shortcut to fire off xrandr with the appropriate options to cycle up/down the possible resolutions? Maybe something for OpenFate?
In my own workflow, I never cycle resolutions anymore... used to do it a lot, but since moving to TFT monitors, I just stick with the top native resolution... so it's a functionality I don't miss now that it's not there. The only time I fiddle with the resolution is if a game or full screen app did not exit cleanly and the resolution is stuck at some lower setting... eg 640x480. For the few rare times this happens, it's not hard to pop open the settings and change it back.

Yes, I noticed that the xorg.conf file does not exist anymore. Question, using nvidia-settings and saving the changes, can be done how, if I do not specify the xorg.conf file? I use a lot of graphics and also do video editing. If I want to position things finely I need to switch resolution often. I can use the editor to show me a finer picture, but using the ctrl+alt+-/+ works way faster. I don't need it for other work. I will look into the "xrandr" you mentioned to see what it is and if it might be a solution.
