For myself, today's upgrade seemed to go well.  Good icons in the
default theme (downloaded for p.d.o/~kitame/gnome2), and nautilus
actually seems snappier.  I didn't remove any previous configuration,
but I also haven't upgraded since the 2.1.x stuff started appearing.  I
learned my lesson during the 1.4 -> 2.0 transition.
