Re: You can have any color you want - as long as it's Gnome?

you do not mention the display manager.
at login, did the display manager's login dialog box not offer you a
choice of DE?
is it possible that it did offer you a choice (via, say, a drop-down
menu or something), with gnome pre-selected as the default?
While doing routine upgrades on my own systems I had run into a
situation somewhat related and reported by someone else at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=718855.
it kinda sounds like you ran into the *identical* situation. but
without knowing what options the display manager offered you, i guess
i shouldn't be too certain.
hth,

ps: i did a recent install for a friend, as well, and i believe we ran
into bug #718855, too. it does break the principle of least surprise,
but it did not prevent us from selecting an xfce session from the
display manager. (at least, i don't *think* i had to do anything more
fu-intensive than select xfce from a drop-down in the DM greeter.
memory is a little fuzzy.)
