Issue report for Breezy latest

[Andreas Schildbach]

Hello there,

As the final Breezy release is approaching, and a release candidate 
seems to be available (I could not find it but there are already 
reports), I'd like to post a summary of issues still open on my Dell 
Latitude X1 Subnotebook.

As soon as I can download the release candidate, I will try a final 
installation.

The most critical issue: Certain function keys lock up Gnome (from the 
user's perspective - I know that it is just getting endless key 
repeats). I would not release Breezy without fixing this.
The side effect of this issue is that I have not had the opportunity to 
test if these three keys actually do what they should, if the keys would 
internally processed correctly.

None of the memory card slots work well:

Bluetooth PIN authentication does not work out-of-the-box: I have to 
manually edit hcid.conf and change pin_helper to /usr/bin/bluepin;

There are two issues with wrong X resolution and refresh rates:

The installer will not warn if the swap space is too small to Hibernate:

I was not able to resize (make smaller) the partition of my Hoary 
installation in the installer.

The clearlooks theme had all round corners on Hoary. On Breezy, only the 
upper two corners are round, the lower two are rectangular. Is it 
intended? In my opinion the combination round/rectangular looks very 
ugly, so I feel this is a regression to Hoary. I know that I can install 
additional themes, but in Hoary it worked out-of-the-box.

When shutting down the system, one of the first shutdown messages 
complains about GDM not running. This feels wrong - it least it was 
running a second before. It does no harm, but I would prefer this 
message to be hidden from the user.

There is no way to use the built-in modem.
