Oh my. The upgrade mechanism forgot to update which kernel is loaded by default (/boot/grub/menu.lst default was 2 and not 0). Now everything works almost fine. I have desktop effects and xvideo (including the flickering bug). The xvideo is definitely borked as it also sort of stays in fron (menus open behind).
