Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Yesterday I removed every package related to wifi and bluetooth since my PC
dont have support for these devices. I did had care for not removing
anything that have back-depencies with essential packages.

Today, after booting my PC, the login screen appeared but after putting my
credential the gnome background appears without showing any pannels or
menu. Not being responsive to putting the mouse pointer on the corner of
the screen.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I went back and installed one by one the packages I had remove yesterday. I
found out that the problem was on removing gnome-bluetooth. I did
cross-check this hipotesis and it was in fact the problematic package.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Now gnome works fine.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I expected that aptitude or apt warned me before removing gnome-bluetooth.
Altough, it will be better if gnome-bluetooth could be removed without any
consequence.

Please keep up the great work, debian rocks!
Felipe.
