There is a build dependency in libxft2-dev that requires xlibs 4.2.1,
however the dependency check when installing libxft2 only checks for
xfree86 >= 4.1.0. This allows gnome2.2 to be installed with the 4.1.0
official debs, but X won't start. This has been corrected in a new deb
for libxft2 that requires xfree86 4.2.1, and thus prevent gnome2.2 from
being installed. The deb should hit the mirrors tomorrow.
You can use these excellent backported 4.2.1 debs:
deb http://people.debian.org/~blade/woody/i386 ./
Add the above to /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
