Incidentally that script will no longer work as there is now an option in synaptic itself pre-checked to treat recommends as dependencies - I've no idea when that was added. I have another machine with a similar setup, and by clearing this, was able to upgrade it without the same problems. I agree that even recommending gnome is daft (let alone gnome3), and to effectively completely reconfigure the desktop without warning is a big NO! Thanks again.
