Package: gnome-session Version: 2.8.1-5 While trying to do a fairly minimal gnome installation on sarge/testing, gnome-session-properties fails to launch (though other gnome-*-properties seem to work just fine).
I'm an avid debfoster user, so it's possible that on this particular box I've uninstalled some dependency in the core that's not explicitly listed in the package dependencies. A transcript with relevant data follows. The package rox-filer is the only package installed from sid/unstable (built from source on the same box).
