Well I reinstalled to machine for some more testing. I now only use your 
 backport (gnome2.2) When I do apt-get install gnome gdm I get unmet 
dependencies: gnome Depends: gnucash but it is not going to be installed
E: Sorry broken packages.

Strange...

When I go into aptitude and try to install 'gnome' I have 2 broken packages:

libgal-data which is missing libgal23
gnucash which is also missing libgal23

Strange thing is is that I can't find the package, only the old original 
one.
