The most noticeable thing that happens with gdm running is I get to what
sounds like a login screen and key in my user id then I've tried both with
return and tab after that and key in my password and all gdm returns is an

Or is it better to install things piecemeal:
apt(titude)-get install gnome-core gdm etc.
Thanks for any suggestions

I'm trying to install Ximian GNOME with apt, but I am having some
problems. I've added the following line to my sources.list file:
deb http://red-carpet.ximian.com/debian stable main

apt-get install task-ximian-gnom
