I am going to assume that when you said"'there are un-officials packages, but not really stables", you meant that they didn't install on woody without other unoffical packages (ie xfree86). I, and quite a few others, have found my gnome2.2 backport quite stable (in terms of stability)! ;-) How is your ximian based gnome2 for woody going to be anymore "stable" than my backport (or any other for that matter)? Woody has Official packages and anything outside of those are Unofficial. Semantics aside, I would be interested in hearing how you deal with the Xfree86 4.1 issue (as shipped with woody). Gnome2.2 really needs at least 4.2 for libxft2 and libxrender (though I have recompiled a few libraries to get my backport to load on 4.1, I don't know how stable (as in stability) it really is day to day).
