Ubuntu watch

So, I use Ununtu on this laptop. I had most things working. Then it wanted to upgrade itself to Gutsy. Okay...

I followed recommendations and wireless stopped working. I was able to undo that, though.

Password prompt no long comes up when I close and open the laptop lid.

And the biggie... the default media program no longer played WMA or AVI files. For comparison,when I installed Feisty, the program said "I can't run these... would you like me to get the software to run them?" So they've managed to degrade performance. I've installed all recommendations I can find, and can actually play video with a couple of other programs -- unfortunately, their interfaces are inferior, and I'd like my old one. Help has not sprung forth, yet.

Also I note the font I'm seeing in this text entry box is different.
