Make sure that you have ubuntu-desktop package installed before updating. It is a meta package that depends on all the default installed packages. It will ensure a smooth transition from one release to another (even if you skip one in between). Also after dist-upgrade if you face any problem, try to identify the package and then do a dpkg-reconfigure for that package. If in doubt then do 'dpkg-reconfigure -a'. Hope this helps.
