How to ensure this ?
So far I have purged gnome, gnome-sesion and reinstalled them in a way
that all the dependencies are satisfied.
What else can be done to ensure that all packages are installed
properly ?

ps shows several occurrences of dbus-launch and one occurrence of
dbus-daemon.

Well: I could show the display to a sighted person. Not that familiar
with computers and with gnome, so I don't know whether the result is
normal or usual, but it didn't seem incoherent or buggy. The menu is
there, we could run Firefox...

I hope the problem can be located soon...
