I did try the PPA on the test machine, and it works well. I saw
somewhere that you should do a ppa-purge before you do a major update
like from 13.10 to 14.04, so I wanted to try ppa-purge but it was not
working very well. In fact I could not log in after I did it. Doesn't
really matter on that machine though. I just wonder if it was only me,
or if ppa-purge isn't really up the task with such a massive PPA
updating everything Gnome and GTK?

I would also like to ask you if you have done a major update with that
PPA enabled, or if you simply do a clean install between Ubuntu
versions?
