Rawhide - first experience

Hi.

I updated from F13 to rawhide today and everything went smooth when I
skipped packages with broken deps. Ended up with some 1500 packages
being updated :-)

When I booted and logged in I noticed the following:

- mouse movement is really slow. The pointer moves a centimeter or two
every time I drag my finger across the mousepad. Tried changing the
settings, but nothing seems to help there. Not kernel related as it is
the same when I boot the f13 kernel

- the battery icon looks strange - very thin. Probably something to do
with the symbolic icon support?

- Broadcom 4322 wireless doesn't work because of a missing kmod package
from rpmfusion?

- firefox crashes on startup

- epiphany crashes on some pages (seems related to java-1.6.0-openjdk
not having been built for f14?

Other than that things seem to work at least, but not having a working
browser is a PITA :-)

Cheers
Kjartan
