Hey, Paul- Marcus Bauer is really the person to talk to about liveCDs; particularly for his work on scripting and localizing the whole process. I had not seen reconstructor; just from a quick skim it looks like it would be very good for the basics of a liveCD. (Though an ideal liveCD would work from stock GNOME, and not patched GNOME like Ubuntu ships.) I generally worked with an unstable Ubuntu release, specifically because (as you mentioned) that included a very up-to-date GNOME. You might also want to look at combining the debian 'live-package' tool and http://www.0d.be/2007/02/11/the-coup-du-zeppelin-project/ Sadly, AFAIK rpath still doesn't create liveCDs; otherwise their tools would be perfect. (One could argue that a self-hosting image that doesn't require rebooting the host PC would be even better, of course. I leave that to others to noodle on about.) Anyway, I can answer at least some questions, I just don't have a whole lot of time to help out right now.
