I tested this in my Natty VMware Fusion VM (no OpenGL).  I snapshotted the VM
just in case, did 'apt-get dist-upgrade', then rebooted.  Everything seemed to
install and work just fine (though I did roll it back).

I don't know if this is related but both with and without the new stack, I've
noticed that Gnome Do's pop up window looks pretty corrupted when typing (lots
of black with just the newly typed text showing up).  This is new in Natty as
of Thursday I think.  If you're interested in a screen grab, let me know.
