If you've not yet run GNOME or any GNOME apps (and thus have no settings
in gconf you're worried about losing) then delete or backup the .gconf,
.gconfd, and .gnome2 directories (as described in other mails on this

You might also log a bug report with the Debian developers, letting them
know about the problem with their packages on a fresh install.
