It _could_ be that Debian's GNOME1-to-GNOME2 conversion script has a bug
and hangs.

I leave that question to the great gurus... :-)

Might be worth a shot. You could also try to move your .gnome directory
out of the way (Don't delete it! Some programs like GnomeCard store their
data in .gnome.) and try to log in without it. You'll lose your desktop
configuration that way.

Please note that this is guesswork. I don't know how broken the GNOME in
Sarge really is - maybe you won't get it to work at all. Your best course
of action is probably to pull in the GNOME2 stuff from Sid. It works very
well at the moment.
