Upgrading from woody to sarge: niggles and solutions



Many thanks to the Debian team for the release of sarge as stable. I
have now belatedly got round to dist-upgrading, which mostly went
smoothly. I did however come across a few problems:

1) Home, End etc. keys not working in jed
2) GTK apps failing to start with "relocation error: libXft.so.2:
   undefined symbol: XRenderQuerySubpixelOrder"
3) VT switching with Ctrl-Alt-Fn stopped working
4) X applications developed big ugly font syndrome

Google failed to find solutions to 1, 2 and 3, though I managed to fix
them eventually. 4 required reference to several documents. I have
therefore written up my solutions here:
