[arch-general] What broke?!?!?!?
OK, performed a pacman -Syu today, and all sorts of things broke. Can anyone please help point me to fixes? * My USB (wireless) keyboard no longer works under X. (Although it still works fine from consoles 1-6.) * Internal trackpad no longer works under X. * Connecting to an openvpn no longer works under networkmanager/networkmanager-openvpn/nm-applet. * Neither USB (wireless) keyboard or (wired) mouse works under qingy. I've been trying to dig through the forums, but haven't found any helpful info yet. If these are known issues, could anyone point me to relevant forum threads and/or bug reports about them? I honestly don't know where to start to fix this on my own. There were ~150 packages that got upgraded this weekend, and I have no idea which one(s) caused the breakages. Thanks, DR

[arch-general] Gnome 3, a bug?
This is such a basic issue that I refuse to believe I'm the first to bump into this behaviour. Hence I ask here first for some help. I recently upgraded to Gnome3 and switching between windows with alt+tab is rather broken for me. Here's why I say that: 1. I make sure I have two non-overlapping windows on the screen at the same time. 2. I position the mouse pointer in one of the window. 3. At this point I can't switch focus to the other window with alt+tab. Basically I have two options: 1. Move the mouse pointer so that it's not in any window, then I can use alt+tab. 2. Move the mouse to switch focus. Neither of these is very convenient.
