GNOME broken in Sarge?

[Marc Shapiro]

I just upgraded from Woody to Sarge.

I boot to a command line and use startx to run X.  I have been running 
Gnome, but, since the upgrade, startx is now loading KDE.  If I try to 
run gnome-session to run Gnome I get the following error:

	(gnome-session:535): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display

I ran 'dpkg -l gnome*' to see what was installed and found a crazy mix 
of gnome 1.4 gnome 2.2 and gnome 2.3 files installed.  Also, several 
packages had been removed, and not upgraded.  As near as I can tell, 
this is a dependancey problem:  gnome-desktop-data and gnome-panel-data 
conflict with gnome-core (<1.5) and gnome-help (<1.5) but the only 
versions of gnome-core in testing are 1.4.x.  I do not see gnome-help in 
either testing, or unstable and the gnome-core in unstable seems to be a 
very different animal and I do not know if this is what I need, or not. 
 Is this a known problem and is there a workaround?

Is there any way to get back my gnome1.4 until this is corrected?

Also, since the upgrade, on booting up I received the following error 
just after I get my login prompt:

	spurious 5259A interrupt: IRQ7

Any help will be appreciated.

Marc
