    Well I reinstalled to machine for some more testing. I now only use your
      backport (gnome2.2) When I do apt-get install gnome gdm I get unmet
    dependencies: gnome Depends: gnucash but it is not going to be installed
    E: Sorry broken packages.

    Strange...

    When I go into aptitude and try to install 'gnome' I have 2 broken packages:

    libgal-data which is missing libgal23
    gnucash which is also missing libgal23

    Strange thing is is that I can't find the package, only the old original
    one.

    Arnaud.
