Various problems after upgrade to Jessie
So I had several systems running Wheezy, since Jessie went GA I've
upgraded most of them. One got into an unbootable state and I haven't
had a chance to try with a rescue disk yet. The rest are all switched
over, "apt-get upgrade" says nothing remains to be done, but there are
some remaining problems...
1. On two graphical desktops (which both use the same /home, mounted via
NFS), when I initially upgraded, the GNOME Character Palette kept
crashing. Message 'Error / "Character Palette" has quit unexpectedly'.
After multiple reboots, I was able to add it back (and it had lost my
custom set of characters, luckily I had them in a text-file). However,
now after I click one character to select it, the whole palette goes
black (making it hard to find a character).
2. On a laptop I upgraded today, the Character Palette is now crashing.
3. On the laptops and the desktop, I get prompted to open my GNOME
keyring (entering my login password unlocks it) by a pop-up window after
I log in.
4. One of the desktops had a qemu virtual machine that would start at
boot from a custom script. Since the update, the process starts at boot
but a VNC client connecting to it hangs forever, and it's not clear that
it's even proceeding with the boot process. If I kill that process, it
doesn't stop. If I "kill -9" the process, I get a zombie...

If I try restarting the script anyway, it fails with the following error
(even though said pidfile does not exist)...
* Could not acquire pidfile: No such file or directory
Suggestions for solving any of the problems?
