I've gotten gnome 2.8 out of experimental, and noticed the following
regressions:
 

keyword here is _experimental_
1) logout no longer does the GDM communication thing to allow me to
shutdown/reboot from the logout window
 

have not seen this yet. have too many windows open to just quit to GDM
2) mime type handling is messed up:  .ps files open in KGhostView, with no
options for anything else, .jpg files open in some KDE image viewer, with the
option of opening in 2 other KDE image viewers, but no EOG.  .abw has no
associated applications... i'm sure there are more that I haven't encountered
yet.
Everything is working fine for me. If file has no application associated 
with it
Right Click -> Properties -> Open With
