I had the same with gnome on woody ( I wlways figured 'gnome' was a
metapackage, but it seems not on woody), I wanted Gnome from unstable
anyway and done an apt-get install gnome from unstable and it worked
fine, been running gnome for around 3 weeks and so far only a few small
niggling errors, but its pretty stable.

AFAIK 'apt-get install x-window-system'  still works
