Any > ideas? Im out of them. The GNOME1 -> GNOME2 transition has been rather rocky, but it's finally starting to calm down a bit. I'm not sure what you mean by the 'desktop feature' - gdm or some other display manager? Write back and let us know a few more things so e can help better: How are you logging in? If it's via gdm or some other display manager, try picking a gnome session, rather than default. If it's through startx, you'll need to specify something in .xsession Do you have the various parts of GNOME2 installed? Try apt-get install gnome - it's a meta-package that should install all the necessary bits for a gnome session to function.
