Here are some GNOME 2.0 applications/enhancements in sid that may not
be installed by the 'gnome' metapackage:

* ttf-freefont (if it wasn't installed with the gnome metapackage)

* gtk2-engines-* and metacity-themes for desktop themes.

* metacity-setup for changing options that aren't yet in the Gnome 2.0
  preferences (this should become unnecessary in Gnome 2.2).

* galeon-snapshot for a GTK2 web browser (note: still in development)

* gnome-gv (PDF/Postscript viewer)

* gnome-games

* totem
