I downloaded both the squeeze package (with the matching name) and the wheezy package (~-themes suggested by the Packages page), but on noticing that the new one is 100 times the size of the old, I realised I'm out of my depth again. If things like accessibility have undergone a major repackaging experience, then there's even more reason to think that the "options to install GNOME in Debian" have quite possibly changed drastically. (And I can't see the point in documenting squeeze's choices for installing Gnome any longer.) My earlier posts (not this thread) have included questions about what exactly do DEs bring to the table over and above WMs. I'm ignorant.
