Rough going. It seems that X is broken in Edubuntu flashback-metacity with
those packages, at least both the keyboard and mouse are non functional.
In Ubuntu GNOME the standard DE loads very slowly and a crash appears but can't
be reported, although it does indicate the problem is with
'gnome-settings-daemon'.

those packages are just rebuilds for the library bump, main things to look out
for a display config, i.e. changing display setups and idle monitor (activation
