To get a more uptodate GNOME Desktop, use Helix GNOME. See
http://www.helixcode.com for more information...

Just add this line to your /etc/apt/source.list:

deb ftp://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/distributions/debian unstable main

and do: 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get install task-helix-core' (for
the core elements of a Helix GNOME Desktop). There's also the meta
package 'task-helix-gnome', which installs much more GNOME
packages (You can check it with 'apt-get --simulate
task-helix-gnome'...
