Hi Jeremy,
I have had this, the thing you need to run is metacity-setup, in later gnome2
stuff in debian its all properly integrated. metacity setup lets you define how
many desktops you have (because that is one of the things a windowmanager does)
the normal stuff in gnome only talk to sawfish
try getting your packages from sid,
Ian
