[PLUG] debian testing gnome-session (gnome 2.0?)

[Jeff Abrahamson <jeff@purple.com>]

I just upgraded by debian testing box. Seems gnome is now gnome 2.0
instead of gnome 1.4 (?). Anyway, X came up with sawfish but no gnome,
because gnome-session had disappeared. I apt-got gnome-session and
ran it. Various complaints about upgrades and stuff, I restarted X a
few times to see if it would become stable, now X just hangs the
console. (I had to reboot the machine to free it, I had already killed
everything remotely related to console from an ssh session trying to
free it up.)

Any thoughts what might be going on or what to do?

BTW, apt-getting gnome-session did not modify the X initialization
stuff. I had to create a .xinitrc with the line "exec gnome-session"
to get gnome-session to start automatically. Before gnome-session just
ran without my intervention.

Very mysterious.
