Hm, from old woody? Didn't it have GNOME 1.4?

I can think of two things you could try:

 a) install the gnome-core metapackage (aptitude install gnome-core)
    if it is not already installed - this ensures you have all
    necessary components

 b) log in with at the console instead of GDM and move your old .g*
    directories into a temporary directory, then try logging in with
    GDM and see if it helps 

The Debian GNOME team might be interested in a bug report and your
config files it they are causing the problems.
