Bug#548394: [gnome-power-manager] gnome fails to start, Install problem

[Brent S. Elmer Ph.D.]

Something in the gnome upgrade changed which totally broke my gnome.  I
don't think it had anything to do with gnome-power-manager.  I submitted
a bug report to gnome-session.  I tried several things to try to make it
work.  The only thing I could do to make it work was delete .gnome2
and .gconf.  The last several months, Debian testing is more like Debian
unstable.  It seems that a lot of things are broken in Debian testing
now.  I have been running Debian testing for years and right now it is
particularly unstable.  On one of my computers, X is totally broken.
