Sure... and if it's not fixable... well then it's not. But at least it
would be better then to abort the downgrade if it's detected that e.g.
a DE is running.
In my case it didn't matter but people may have important/unsaved data
open.

And maybe there is just some accidental restart of dbus or so involved
(that usually kills of the DE, too).


Cheers,
Chris.
