I would like to think so, but I'm not getting too many panics. Often when
Xorg dies, the system is still alive. Even more often, compiz (or
something?) goes nuts, but doesn't die, and I amble to recover by
replacing compiz. But I agree that the system is unstable. Suddenly, I am
unable to run pidgin (it segfaults while starting). Today the system
didn't wake up. I have certainly muddied the water by upgrading to
jaunty.

At any rate, with all that, and even considering that the original
refresh bug is not entirely gone, the net result is more pleasant than
with many "production" systems I see people use.
