/ Andy Firman <andy@firman.us> was heard to say:
| You need some gnome libraries. Not sure exactly which ones....but I solved
| the problem by doing an apt-get install gnome or something like that
| to get as much gnome stuff as possible. If you got the disk space,
| try it! It should work.
Hmm. I don't know. I did a clean "unstable" install on another machine
recently. It works there and there are no obviously missing libraries
on my laptop.
I wonder if your install "fixed" it some other way.
FWIW, these are the packages that are on the machine where it works
that aren't on my laptop.
