First is the problem with XFdrake overwriting the X Server
symlink. I thought Pixel would submit a newer version of
drak-kdb-mouse-x11, as the patch I provided doesn't matter
if using the current <base>/X11 links or not. At least fixing
the inverted logic about composite would not hurt, anyway,
I would not mind patching the X Server to inverting the logic
there, to match what XFdrake expects...

But another problem is one that I don't know all details,
and may hit a lot of users.
If upgrading from 2008.0 to 2008.1, and then to cooker,
newer kernels will not boot.
Personally I don't know all details about the root=UUID=<hash-key>
that I believe should match the ones in /dev/disk/by-uuid
and the required changes to fstab (if any), etc.
But the point is that newer kernels will not boot in that
upgrade scenario, from 2008.0 to cooker.
