Make sure Gnome's "Classic" mode (AKA, fallback mode) is installed. There is a 
package for that.  Consider installing MATE instead (Google for it.) They 
recently released a new version which runs very smoothly.  MATE is a fork of 
Gnome 2, and there is a repository to install it using apt-get (it is not an 
official Debian package---yet.)

Look under the default profile and check the colors.
