If I'm not wrong, gnome-desktop-environment is a virtual package used in sid to install the entire gnome desktop. If you want to install gnome in Sarge, install gnome and gnome-core packages. Another point: gnome is a desktop environment which uses a window manager (like sawfish, metacity or even E or Window Maker). Gdm is just a graphical login screen like xdm or kdm. Cheers, Fred.
