That's what I figured at first.  But I can't even Ctrl-Alt-F1.  There
are no errors in /var/log/Xorg.*.  And for some reason my nvidia
driver was disabled/uninstalled in the upgrade.  I reinstalled it and
that took care of the screen funniness, and it seemed to slow down the
crashing for a bit, but it's back again.

Unity 2D did not help.  Though getting into "Gnome classic (no
effects)" seems to be helping, though I've only been using it for 10
minutes now.

Also, weirdness: Alt-Tab is not working at all.  And Duplicity is not
backing up to Ubuntu One.  It says "Remote manifest does not match
local one".  Not that I care about that.  I'll get it fixed.  I'm just
frustrated by this upgrade.
