Issues upgrading from warty to hoary...

[Matt Galvin]

Also, I just noticed that the upgrade process did not detect my
external firewire cd-rw, it does not work in warty but it works in
hoary when i do a clean hoary install. I think the upgrade process
should probably detect/check for new hardware(that may not have worked
in warty). Not a big deal for me since I will do a clean install of
hoary anyway, but some people may not want to start over.

It was outputing something about not being able to find an icon for a launcher button that I had added to the panel for gnucash. I still have the .gnome2.old directory that was causing the crash so I could try and track this one down further.
