Having been running unstable for quite a while and regularly 
upgrading/dist-upgrading I too walked blindly into a post-Sarge release 
dist-upgrade and now have a broken Gnome.

I've read through this thread and see that people are having or had the 
same problem as I did. However the solution which seemed to work for 
some, "apt-get -f install gnome-panel" doesn't work for me as I still 
get a list of unmet dependencies, some of which are actually installed 
and have the right version numbers.

Is there anything I can do to fix it and restore my nicely configured, 
efficient Gnome working environment? :)
