Toolchain upgrades are usually the things that cause breakage, but I haven't seen anything so far. [ full disclosure - my last full desktop build accidentally used gcc-4.5.1, I haven't gone beyond fluxbox with 4.5.2. ] I'm more wary of the libpng upgrade (might break xine-ui, I don't know, but the latest version of that has fixes for libpng-1.4 as well as bringing in an extra dependency).
