dpkg --purge gnome-control-center gnome-panel

then do the rest of the ximian/helix purging as described earlier. 

also make sure your sources.list do NOT contain ximian or helix
sources and run apt-get update.  

you might want to use dselect to purge these packages, they will be
marked as `obsolete' in dselect after removing helix crap from the
sources.list and running update.
