Hi again
Here are some (I'm afraid) quite non-scientific notes...

I've now worked a full day with the backports installed without a system
freeze, so in that respect its seem to have worked!

But, there seem to be a side-effect; whether its related I can't say, but it 
appeared very timely... 
Printing from Adobe acrobat reader (8.1.3-1) works only intermittently. Mostly 
the printing dialog just freezes up, but it freezes a bit differently from time 
to time
- Mostly the print dialog shows up completely blank (with just two white 
stripes where I think two combo-boxes are supposed to be), and after some time 
the adobe-window darkens as it does when its not responding
- Sometimes the print dialog does show up properly with printers listed and 
all, but clicking any button depresses the button but before anything else 
happens, it freezes
- Once in maybe 5-10 tries I do get something printed!

When it freezes it requires a terminal 'kill -9' to get the processes
killed (clicking 'Force Quit'-button does not properly kill the
process...). This happens at work with a web-login type of network (you
need to sign in through a web-interface to get access to the net) with a
kerberos authentication-thing for the print system. At home with a
printer connected through a samba server I have seen no such problems...

The Adobe issue I haven't experienced prior to installing the backport, and the 
only other thing I've done to my system since, is the updates to the 
acpi-support packages that's been rolled out (version 0.114-0intrepid1 to 
0.114-0intrepid2). 
Neither reinstalling acroread nor removing the backports helped, so maybe its 
just coincidences...

I've also tried printing from both evince and epdfview. None of these
two report a problem, but nothing gets printed. Ofcourse, I've tried
many different document, among others ones I printed without problems
before installing backports.
