I seem to have bin a tad careless with this upgrade - after some
testing on a VMware machine and on a spare external disk on my laptop,
I decided it is safe enough to upgrade the internal disk as well.
Gnome stopped working:

(.xsession-errors follows)
/usr/pkg/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp
/usr/pkg/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: running: /usr/pkg/bin/sessreg -a
-w /var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/var/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h "" -l
":0" "ci"
/usr/pkg/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
/usr/pkg/etc/gdm/Xsession: Setup done, will execute:
/usr/bin/ssh-agent -- dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session
dbus-launch: Error detected by libpthread: Invalid mutex.
Detected by file "/usr/src/lib/libpthread/pthread_mutex2.c", line 223,
function "pthread__mutex_lock_slow".
See pthread(3) for information.

and I also have:

The prudent action at this moment would be to downgrade - any suggestions?
