Bug#518069: Please upload gnome-session 2.24.x to unstable since 2.22.3 does not work!

[Svante Signell]

More info. Starting gnome using gdm works! This is a much better
alternative than to run gnome-panel in WindowMaker, it was ages since
used it last time. However, maybe it is still a dbus problem as the bug
postings indicate. We'll see in due time.

My .xinitrc contains only exec gnome-session, when starting X from a
tty.

BTW: I'm updating according to unstable right now and it seem that not
all gnome-* packges are upgraded to 2.24 yet.
