-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm running gnome under lenny/sid right now with no problems, though I must admit I did my tasksel for gnome a while ago. Spawning up of consoles is controlled in /etc/inittab, I would start by looking there first. I'd say you're being dropped into single user, runlevel 1, but that's not the case if you have gdm coming up, as far as I know.
