These packages are absolutely required to run gnome2, but based on what
you sent, it looks like you already have them. How long have you been
using the backport? If for a while and this is the first apt-get
upgrade you have done in a while, I downgraded the libfreetype
dependency so that the backport would be installable with the
semi-official openoffice.org.
dpkg --purge --force-depends libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev freetype2
freetype2-demos
rm -f /var/cache/apt/archives/*freetype*
apt-get update && apt-get -f install
and restarting gnome should fix the dependency problem.
Your xserver needs to support the RENDER extension as well. Do:
xdpyinfo|grep RENDER
it should return 'RENDER'. If not, before launching gnome, try doing
'export GDK_USE_XFT=0' before running startx. If it is just
gnome-terminal, try doing 'export VTE_USE_XFT2=0'. gnome-terminal will
be pretty slow like this, but it should work. If you use gdm, just put
the above into /etc/environment.
