I don't use Gnome. It may have been some update for Etch that's stopped
logging into Gnome. As I use KDE, I'm using KDM as the desktop manager, but
is a bit strange that I can't login to Gnome. I don't know about other window
managers, as I've never tried them.
All my Debian installs were started from installing Woody 3.0r2. Two were
upgraded to Sarge, which was still on testing at the time, and the third one
when Sarge went stable stayed on testing, which is my current Etch install.
It's probably worth asking on the list, as to why your having problems logging
into icewm.
Nigel.
