Well, maybe I should have pointed out that going to sid means going to
the bleeding edge, and it can sometimes break, plus I don't think you
should do it unless you have broadband (because of the frequent
updates), but I thake it you have it.

You can check what's the version of (for example) gnome-panel, if
if is something like 2.2.0.1-2, then you are running gnome 2.2

gdm in sid is still the one for gnome 1.4, don't know about the fonts
though.

I really haven't ever tried a downgrade, I guess the easy way would be
to just delete the sid lines and wait for new versions to hit testing,
but if things aren't all that smooth I guess you would like a faster
track.

That should take you to sid.
