1. no support for IntelliMouse (of type imps/2) at least in WsLib
versions. Setting mouse type to ps/2 activates it in Aurora but then gpm
goes mad.
2. No support for l10n. Currently most mesages of initscripts are
translated but Aurora is using iso8859-1 font that makes it hard to read
Russian messages. Aurora is supposed to use English messages in this
case but this does not work (I do not know if it is initscripts or
aurora bug). Of course, making it to fallback to English does really
make aurora more useful. Those users who understand English (I mean,
non-native English of course) probably switch aurora off anyway; and
those who would like aurora may have problems with English (experts vs.
newbie).
3. old update bug - link for aurora monitor is removed when updating
aurora.
4. of course, issue with interactive programs on startup (notably
kudzu).
It's all so far, but I stopped using aurora long ago, so it is all from
memory.
