    I had input "glitches" during the last few weeks where some input
    apparently got stuck in the X server. This might be one incarnation. It
    seemed to happen after a dist-upgrade.

    Short answer: No, they all suck. Learn to deal with it, keep backups and
    choose the one that you find sucks the least.

    I think it's a special version of the three component dilemma: Secure,
    solid, stable: choose two (stable counts as two). Although, I'd say
    "secure, stable, useable" is a better fit.
