Maybe upgrade from Progeny is problem. I started with gnome 1.0.x installed on potato and later upgraded to woody. Have you noticed other parts on gnome that don't work properly? And, if you put symlinks in .gnome to subdirectories of .gnome/.gnome-orig, do the problems get fixed? > > I used to have all my sound working great. I think it died > after I upgraded to testing.
