That's really strange. Question: Had you installed Debian GNOME before
you installed Helix GNOME? If yes, try to 'rm ~/.gnome*'. There's a
big step between these two version, so, there could be some
incompatibilities in the configuration files.

Ok. Try to start GNOME on the Linux console, perhaps you will get some
error messages on the console. To do this, change to the console and
type 'startx gnome-session -- :1', which starts another x server. You
could also first stop your GNOME login manager with '/etc/init.d/gdm
stop' and just type 'startx gnome-session'.

No. Sure, you should be able to run GNOME with other users as well.

Yes. What exactly do you want? Remove the login manager ("GDM")?
