Fantastic.
You might have noticed that we have completed the update of the HAF to 
D-Bus 1.0.

You can fix the defect on the right side of the screen by simply 
re-selecting the background image.
The theming problem at the bottom of the task navigator will hopefully 
be fixed once we update the
themes. MDK and Tigert are wrestling with our internal graphics 
development processes to make
that possible.

I need to admit that given that you have not re-flashed, I'm actually 
surprised that Sardine worked for you
since you are probably still running a 2.10.X version of glib in a 
Frankenstein mix of the old and new Sardine ;)
Perhaps rebuilding Pango against a 2.6.X glib made it work even when 
using it together with a 2.10.X glib :-)
