Hi, Mine says: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ ../project/experimental main contrib non-free When I first started to try to get xorg 7.0 a few weeks ago, the xorg-x-window-system-x-window-system-core dependency list was missing a few things here and there, so tried to get what I could and waited for each update to see what was added. Now with IIRC 7.0.3 or 7.0.4, the xorg packages seem nearly complete. There were a few things like: new locations for font files, missing font pacakges, missing gl or mesa dependencies and other as of yet unknown changes/transitions that may need to be completed or fixed but as of 7.0.4, it seems very close to becoming an 'unstable' packages.

OK, I bit the bullet and installed x.org 7.0.4. After fixing the font directory problem, X starts, but the system has forgotten the systemwide DE. Now, when I run startx, it only brings up a small fixed-size xterm window. I'm able to start GNOME by typing this in that xterm window: metacity gnome-session So, how do I tell the system what the systemwide DE should be? There must be a Debian Way to do it, but I can't find it.
