Here are instructions for upgrading woody systems using the gnome2.2

a smooth upgrade. These
Due to popular demand, the gnome2.2 backport for Debian Woody on i386 is
now being hosted on Debian's alioth server. Please visit:
http://gnome22.alioth.debian.org/
for more information. With moving the project to alioth, the backport
now has better bug reporting, a mailing list, FAQ and more.
