That's not completely true. Even Debian tells you to use unstable on Desktop.
And I do it since many years without problem. And as I wrote, I guess it's not a general error.
If you are a desktop user with a lot of experience in the operating system and do not mind facing the odd bug now and then, or even full system breakage, use unstable. It has all the latest and greatest software, and bugs are usually fixed swiftly.

I know. But it worked for me and because it seemed that the error is rare it could take some time to fix.
I don't want to use Gnome or Xfce longar than necessary. ^^
However I made a report at the Debian bug database.
It's not really a "bug", as such, it's just part of the normal behaviour in sid during transitions. Use btrfs & snapper so you can rollback to a working configuration if an update messes things up like this again.
