Could it be because in the meantime (the invertal between both installations) gdm was upgraded to gdm3 and so it was installed by default on a clean install. > Are there any other packages in this situation, > and I should be aware of them?

I'd say you can: a) Keep gdm untill is supported by your system b) Upgrade to gdm3 > I mean, a lot of trouble can happen if some scripts won't work because > of the name of the packages / binary files; I was transferring them > freely between the two systems (by now). > Have you experienced anything similar?

"gdm" and "gdm3" are both valid options in squeeze so I guess they can coexist. There should be no need to make any change unless you system urges you to do it so :-? P.S.
