I don't know about synaptic, but if you don't mind using the command
line you can install the package "apt-rdepends" to list all dependencies
of a given package. This is done recursively, i.e. it will also include
the dependencies of the dependencies and so on until you have a complete
list of everything that is needed.
To make sure these packages are all in the newest version you can run:
apt-rdepends --state-follow=Installed --state-show=Installed gnome-core | awk '/^ /{print $2}' | sort -u | sudo apt-get install $(cat)
This is supposed to be all on one line. (Email programs sometimes insert
line breaks which screw up such long commands.)
