I'm one of the people who did NOT have (much) trouble upgrading. I got the now-expected (by me, anyway) two crashes on startup while all the extensions get reprocessed [*] and since then everything is fine.
One thing I noticed in taking a quick look at my system is that I have pango-devel installed as well as pango. That seems unlikely to make any difference, but it does add symlinks for the pango libraries under other names, so perhaps it's affecting dynamic linkage.
I am using gnome (in fact, it's the only desktop environment I have installed) so Rodrigo's speculation about that appears to be unfounded.
[*] or something; all I know is it doesn't happen if I remove extensions before upgrading and reinstall after, but I skipped that this time because it DIDN'T happen when going from 1.5.0.1 to 1.5.0.2 so I thought it might finally be fixed.
