i wasn't aware that this was fixed, thanks for pointing this out. Personally my last experience with ximian was in 8.1, it ended in complete failure after an upgrade.
That was ximian 1, I didn't have a very good experience with it either
Are you running xd2 and James' gnome?
xd2, I don't think you can run both at the same time, although single packages from ULB should work.
And you've upgraded both or one, without any problems?
well, xd2 wasn't released until 8.2 so I haven't had a chance yet, but so far all the packages have had the same names so that shouldn't be a problem. I did upgrade xd2 from gnome 2.2 to gnome 2.4 though, in the Ximian unstable channel, using red carpet. So far I haven't seen any huge problems The gnome packages have newer versions of course, but you'd have that problem with ULB stuff too.
Do you use red carpet and apt?
red carpet
I have witnessed others who ran into problems in the last few months, I'm fairly sure it had to do with xd2. The problems arose after trying to upgrade or remove xd2.
There is one thing that most people react to, besides the problem with $PATH I mentioned, and that is that since both Gnome and KDE use $HOME/Desktop as the desktop directory, things collide. But again, this is a problem with gnome/ KDE in general, not where you get it from. You can always set manually a different directory for either one to avoid it
