Wouldn't this command also do the trick?

sudo apt-get install -t stable x-window-system xserver-xfree86 gnome

When I run that, I get

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
  gnome: Depends: gnome-desktop-environment (= 49) but it is not going to be installed
         Depends: gnome-office (= 49) but it is not going to be installed
         Depends: gnome-themes-extras but it is not going to be installed
         Depends: netspeed but it is not going to be installed
         Depends: rhythmbox but it is not going to be installed

If I add gnome-desktop-environment to the list of packages
on the command line, I again get a huge list of problematic
packages.
