Did so. The situation now is: Finally, I am using gmail from Iceweasel
started from debian gnome. But my gnome setup is still very basic:
After login, there is basically only a blue screen. By leftclicking
the mouse, it opens a popup menu, and I could start this browser from
there. But the window do nao have any re-size icons , as usual.
There must still be something missing?
