I tried to install Gnome today with:
apt-get install gdm
apt-get install gnome-core
gdm works.  With gdm I can get into KDE but not Gnome.  Any hints?
 

Sorry, no.

With kdm, when I start tvm there is still a bunch of kde stuff running (as 
seen with "ps axj").  So kdm has got to go.  

How 'bout ice?  IS it any good?

Depends on what you mean by "any good". It's usually what I use. Fairly 
lightweight, but with the bells and whistles I like (taskbar, that 
autohides).

The installation notes at the ice web site 
are above my level of comprehension. (Am barely X literate.)  Is there an 
easy way to get it running?

"apt-get install icewm"
"/etc/init.d/kdm restart"
should do it. Then just select "icewm" from the pull-down menu on the 
kdm login screen. It might be that you'll have to create/edit ~/.xinitrc 
and add "icewm" and then choose "default" or "Debian" from the 
pull-down; I just don't remember.
