Default GNOME upgrade problems..

I have upgraded openSUSE 11.1 with GNOME 2.26 folowing these instructions GNOME/2.26 - openSUSE but after upgrade i am facing to various issues..

1./ I cannot access GDM. When i log off, screen is flashing and then i am back on my desktop with this error Imageshack - obrazovka

2./ I have both old nautilus cd burner and new brasero simle CD/DVD creator and both buttons write to disc on that folder. Removing old nautilus cd burner removes also F-Spot

3./ Compiz has blank window decoration withou buttons, but metacity is OK. Upgrade to Gnome 2.26 observations - openSUSE Forums

4./ keyoard layout is always changed to different in panel KB applet after reboot or log off atempt..


Question is if its even worth trying to fixing it, or its simply ****ed up and only reinstall with defaul GNOME 2.24 will help..

I also have bad experience in upgrading gnome version in distro
I have trying in opensuse 11.0(2.22>2.24) and 11.1(2.24>2.26)
in both cases i repair my system with fresh install after that.
this was quick enough
