When upgrading to a new version of Emacs, its highly recommended you read the
NEWS and PROBLEMS files that come with it. The NEWS file lists user visible and
elisp changes (and often explains how to revert to earlier behavior). the
PROBLEMS file contains information about known problems or issues with the new
version. 

A quick scan of these two files can save you a lot of time. For example, I do
remember seeing information about the mini buffer colours and how to customize
them. Its likely the other two issues you mention are also covered.

Tim
