And for anyone interested, I solved it using:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=515976#72

Well I did the upgrade version instead of the downgrade :)

$ apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-core


      ~
xserver-xorg-core:
  Installed: 2:1.6.4-2
  Candidate: 2:1.6.4-2
  Version table:
     2:1.7.0-1 0
         -1 http://ftp.fr.debian.org experimental/main Packages
 *** 2:1.6.4-2 0
         -1 http://ftp.fr.debian.org testing/main Packages
         -1 http://ftp.fr.debian.org sid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     2:1.4.2-10.lenny2 0

 $ apt-cache policy libxi6


       ~
libxi6:
  Installed: 2:1.2.1-2
  Candidate: 2:1.2.1-2
  Version table:
     2:1.2.99.4-1 0

     2:1.1.4-1 0
        500 http://ftp.fr.debian.org lenny/main Packages


This solved the previous issue with GDM I reported

http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2009/04/msg02906.html

Both my GDM and firefox are back to good ol' AZERTY :)
