    Thanks for all of the help from everyone - eh, I sounded quite
    desperate, but I was really pissed off that day, returning from a 10
    hour shift with only a few precious hours to spend at home and my debian
    giving me *** for no reason.

    Due to all of the suggestions I've been given here, I've played around a
    lot with the apt tools and I decided to give downgrading my xlibs a try.

    All of my problems, except for having to startx twice for X to recognize
    my mouse, are gone.

    I downgraded from xlibs.4.3.0.dfsg.1-5 to dfsg.1-4. The sluggishness of
    my mouse cursor, the broken alt-key (alt + letter wasn't recognized by
    any programs anymore.. for instance for opening menus or for shortcuts),
    the broken alt-tabbing. I'm sure that with something major like this,
    developers will be aware of it.. should I post it somewhere else anyway?
    I guess unstable is all about finding things that break (I had to add
    testing in my sources list to get that version of xlibs as well).

    Thanks again,

    Daniel
