That looks OK to me; I have the same versions and I can run
update-gconf-defaults without problems.

after much fussing (all with aptitude now -- i'm not mixing in any apt-get
commands),

Just to clarify this once more: Your main problem is the gconftool-2
issue, which seems to break all package scripts which call this tool.
Using apt-get in between only caused a minor temporary problem with
aptitude's database, from which aptitude recovered on its own AFAICT.

I've managed to successfully remove a lot of gnome stuff, but
not enough to completely succeed. I've snipped lots of output above this
(and in my mind, the gzopen64 thing seems to be key -- it's certainly
repeated once for each of these packages that are now still failing)

Yes, this seems to be the root of all evil at the moment.

Processing was halted because there were too many errors.
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
Setting up dia-common (0.96.1-6) ...

gzopen64 should be defined in /usr/lib/libz.so.1; something is wrong
with this on your system. Post the output of the following commands:

dpkg -l zlib1g

ldd /usr/bin/gconftool-2 | grep libz

ldd /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 | grep libz

nm -D /usr/lib/libz.so.1 | grep gzopen64
