Cool :o)  I did the Debian/Gnome2 thing again this weekend, because the
packages have changed a fair bit, and it's pretty sweet. I recommend
LighthouseBlue theme, if anyone's interested ..

Sounds like you :(

That looks like the main problem there - you've lost the NVidia drivers.
I don't know anything about these - they're not Free Software :/ - but
others on the list do. Perhaps you did something special before to load
a driver? 'modprobe nv' or something?

As for the rest of the stuff, sounds like you've had massive filesystem
damage, which is usually a sign of dodgy hardware - sounds like half the
configuration on the machine has gone walkabout, which is why you're
having 'issues'.

Cheers,

Alex.
