 I was trying to install the GNOME 2.10 garnome suite when I discovered

Are you using Ubuntu's X.Org packages, or Debian's XFree86 packages?

I just went to the ubuntu website too see what it actually is. I don't
think so. At one point about one and a half year ago I installed a debian XFree86 4.3.0 backport because I needed the new Radeon drivers for my
laptop, but I don't have the package source any more. I am pretty sure
that it was from a debian.org server. But your question
indicates that there might be something very wrong with the package
dependencies on my machine only, perhaps due to a "pollution" from some
temporarily used package source. So I am going to deinstall the whole
gnome/X environment, reinstall with a clean apt/sourcelist and see
what happens. I'll come back in a few hours and report the results...
