Bob read what I wrote above cause what you got is EXACTLY what I was getting untill I ran from a shell Apt-Get UPGRADE and then I ran Apt-get Update and then I ran Apt-get Install Gnome and then everything woked fine.

Thats the best I can explain it to you as thats what worked for me. IM still learning and have a long way to go. All I know is that after I did the UPGRADE, the the UPDATE ran a couple hundred meg of updates and then I ran the install gnome with apt-get and I got another couple hundred meg of pure Gnome and then it self installed fine. I then logged off of KDE anf re logged back in with Gnome now on my login menu and poof everything was fine. Best of Luck to you.
