You will probably need the following packages installed: gnome-session2 gnome-panel2 I would recommend the following packages also: nautilus2 gnome-applets2 gnome-control-center2 gnome-media2 gnome2-user-guide metacity If you apt-get that lot, you'll probably do better. Then you probably need to visit your alternatives to verify that stuff is being properly used: update-alternatives --config x-session-manager update-alternatives --config x-window-manager Ensure that both of these are pointing to the programs of your choice (in my case, that's /usr/bin/gnome-session and /usr/bin/metacity, respectively) Another thing I found that was that the session took a very long time to start up until I saved my settings on exit, and then it was fine after that.
