I checked my installation and libXft2-2.1-2mdk is installed. The strange thing is that gnome2 works fine for *one* of my user accounts (very seldomly used) and not the others. I've tried everything including deleting ~/.gnome* and .gconf* and still can't get gnome working. I'm seeing the exact same problem as Wouter.
