So, i finally decided to upgrade, and I didn't faced many problem during the 
upgrade :

1) my gdm.conf was still using /usr/X11R6/bin/X, and it was not replaced on 
upgrade, mainly because I have changed it one day. 
I have also seen that /etc/X11/Xservers was not migrated because the config 
file was changed, by msec to add -nolisten tcp

So maybe a %post to migrate those should be added.

2) kde seems to requires iceauth, and it was not required nor installed on my 
workstation.
~ $ rpm -q kdebase
kdebase-3.5.2-15mdk


3) the same problem as andrey ( 
http://archives.mandrivalinux.com/cooker/2006-05/msg02030.php ).
The fix was quite dirty and involved rm, but i need the unix pipe to work.
Basically, I created the symlink by hand, and i removed the directory.
But i do not see how we can fix this in a clean way.




The only remaining issue i have seen is that aterm do not work, but xterm did
~ $ aterm
aterm: can't load color "white", colorID = 0, (29)
aterm: can't load color "White", colorID = 0, (29)
aterm: aborting
