As stated in another thread, when you come from a7, you must
reinstall gvfs and gnome-vfs, also repopulate the loaders.cache
for svg - images, see
<https://www.illumos.org/issues/4040> :

as root (won't work with pfexec) :
/usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders >
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache

Note also that the Nimbus theme has problems, use
Clearlooks or Blueprint and customize if needed.

Hipster seems to have serious problems with compiz,
don/t use that yet, a9 is mostly fine (apart from
switching between compiz and metacity, which sometimes
freezes).
