I'd almost have to see pictures of each to know exactly what you're
referring to.
I also updated to Woody and didn't have any problems with my existing
environment. It looks and acts as normal. I had to make some changes to the
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file, but other than that, my desktop was left
untouched.
The only real problem I'm having is with Vi(m). I can't move the cursor
using the arrow keys in insert mode. It does some other weird command for
reasons beyond my comprehension.
