You may have those packages/files installed but do you probably don't
have the correct version. My potato box shows -
scab:~$ gnome-session --version
Gnome gnome-session 1.0.55
I would think upgrading to GNOME 1.2.0 would be a pain with potato but I
might be wrong. Someone may have built a package for stable. Check the
archives. Someone else might chip in with the way to do this.
