# out your gnome 2.2 source /etc/apt/sources.list Then apt-get update then run tasksel Once you've got 1.4 of gnome running, then get out of it (+stop gdm, if you use it) and unhash your gnome2.2 apt source and apt-get update && apt-get install gnome.
On my system, I originaly ran the original X -- installed the 2 Desktop Enviroments through tasksel then upgraded to X 4.2 for gnome2.2 and then upgraded to gnome2.2 -- so hopefully that should work :/ btw, installing the gnome 2.2 backport won't work with the OpenOffice.org backport from apt-get.org. You'll need to use: deb http://www.phy.olemiss.edu/openoffice/ woody main contrib --Don't even try the KDE 3 backport -- it will break your system!!
