Try "apt-get install xbase-clients"
The xbase-clients package contains all that "startx" good stuff. If there
are any unmet dependancies apt will take care of those too. After all the
blinking and whirring is done, try "startx". If you get errors,
specifically about unable to find a default font etc, try "apt-get install
xfonts-base" for some reason my last Debian (Woody) installation this
wasn't included....go figure.
Good luck,
Cheers,
James
