As above.
If I'm right in that Debian 'Sarge' is the same as 'Testing' then it appears to use Gnome 1.4.
Yes, I believe 'sarge' is 'testing' and as far as I can see the version of GNOME is a mix between 1.4, 2.0 and 2.2 but worst of all it is broken. There is some strange problem between nautilus and bonobo which results in nautilus windows appearing repeatedly with no user intervention until all memory is exhausted, or you type Ctrl-Alt-Backspace in desperation.
Unstable seems to have mostly GNOME 2.2 in it so hopefully that will make it's way into sarge before it is released.
What prompted the question was a reference I came across in a mailing list (while looking for a way of setting the gnome 1.4 background image via a shell script) that talked about a separately available backport of gnome 2 for woody (Debian stable). I'm tempted to give it a try but it occurred that it might be a waste of time if sarge already had gnome 2. Still undecided. I used to be decisive but now... I'm not so sure. :o)
