Hi. Metacity is the default window manager in gnome 2.x. You will need
to install the gtk 2x librarys also. I can't tell you exactly what
other Gnome libs you might need, because I already have Gnome 2.4
working on this system. For the record: I'm using Freedombox on a
Debian unstable system upgraded this morning. Xfree86 version 4.3 Gnome
version 2.4 and Mozilla 1.6.
Hope this helps.
