So actually it didn't really work. Well, there was a single post I found 
which mentioned wine - see the last answer at 
<https://askubuntu.com/questions/101828/no-system-tray-detected-on-this-system>. So you could try if it helps to uninstall wine:

sudo apt-get remove wine

and then reboot.

I have no idea how to do that - maybe somebody else could help here.

Anyway, you may still have the packages on your system which were 
downloaded during the upgrade - it depends on the apt settings. Please 
have a look at "/var/cache/apt/archives/". If there are lots of .deb 
packages in that directory, you could copy them to a location outside of 
the partition you want to clone back. Then before you upgrade again, 
copy them back to the original location. That should avoid downloading 
everything again. It may be useful even if you upgrade from the DVD 
because the packages on the DVD probably aren't the latest version.
