Got to them. Explicitly requested a few packages, did "U" in aptitude
twice, explicitly installed and recofigured gdm to be my display manager,
and still didn't get to successfully log in. One minutes after logging in,
a message came up on the screen warning me that my session had lasted
less than ten seconds. Used gdm to switch to icewm (which I had thought
was default, and everything worked. The system even seems faster than
it was under woody, yes, using icewm too.
