Gnome in sarge; is there a default desktop?

[David Gaudine]

I'm trying to use gnome in Sarge.  I've never used gnome before, so I 
don't know what to expect, but I don't think I'm getting what I should.

I selected  gdm as the default window manager.  I get the login screen. 
 After I log in, I get a blank screen, but the mouse buttons let me 
access a menu; it looks like the default twm menu, but "ps ax" doesn't 
show twm running.  I was expecting a desktop.  The gnome user guide 
says to select "Gnome Desktop" from "Session" in the login screen, but 
there is no such option in the list;  the Session menu has "Gnome", 
"Gnome Chooser", "Debian", "Xsession, and a couple of failsafes.

Is there supposed to be a desktop by default?  If not, is there 
something simple to do to enable it?  I'm looking through the 
documentation, but I'm not doing very well.
