What version of X is currently in testing? Does X only get hosed when
running gnome-session?
Strange that gnome-session got uninstalled instead of upgraded. There
is also a gnome-core metapackage, that includes most of gnome (and
gnome, which includes the kitchen sink).

Are you using GDM or XDM as a display manager? I think GDM is what knows
how to start gnome-session automaticly.
