I never actually tried to use the stable tree so I don't know what the situation is: if I had to guess, I'd say that something got scrambled in the dependencies of the various packages--the order does matter. The problem may not be with bundle-gnome itself, but because you are installing 66 packages, many of which have multiple dependencies.
I didn't install GNOME by hand, exactly. I installed packages that required many of the gnome packages and dependencies: gnucash and gimp both require a good fraction of what is directly installed by bundle-gnome. I did these separately, which basically is like dividing bundle-gnome into several manageable chunks. Before you go to working with unstable, do a rebuild on gdk-pixbuf and try just installing gnome-core and see if you get the same errors. -- Alexander K.
