It looks like you have Adrian Bunk's packages installed. As mentioned
previously, his packages are incompatible with the gnome2.2 backport.
Make sure Adrian's lines are out of sources.list (and mine are in), then
do:
apt-get clean (or just remove the xlibs deb from
/var/cache/apt/archives)
apt-get update
dpkg -r --force-depends xlibs
apt-get -f install
This should install xlibs from my backport.

good, these look to be from my backport

these look fine (have same version as in mine).
Seeing that you had Adrian's packages on your system, I don't know what
the state of you system. At this point, you can try:
apt-get -u dist-upgrade
apt-get install gnome-core
and see if it works. If not, do:
COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l|grep bunk
and remove those packages and try again. Remember, to minimize proplems
have only my backport line in sources.list, along with official woody
and the woody security updates (some of my packages depend on security
updates).
