Incidentally, I had similar problems. After upgrading to unstable about a month ago I couldn't get any display manager except gdm up and going. All others reported problems with authentication, especially X magic cookie authentication. I've never tried it, but dpkg does have a --force-downgrade option. I don't know how this interacts with apt (you may have to download the pacakges yourself) nor with meta packages such as gnome2. Sorry, not a helpful answer. -- Michael
