The alt-key is covered in other posts but the other killer problem for me  
in 2.4 is the lack of a ratio display or lock on the crop tool. I need to  
crop to a ratio a lot and a display that always reads "current" is no use.  
It literally means I have to get the calculator out; I can do that, but  
arguing with the Alt key at the same time is too much. 2.2 just works.

Also, I seem to have to click the mouse a lot in different places to get  
the aligment tool to activate its buttons. This is not such a big deal as  
the other things but is tedious.

There were a couple of other niggles (and total confusion about printing  
which was probably my own fault), but I've deleted 2.4 now.
