I must be missing something, obviously, but what prevents us from having multiple versions of the problematic packages (nautilus, totem and the needed libraries) in the repository and have ubuntu-gnome-desktop depend on the latest versions while ubuntu-desktop depends on the oldest versions? It's already possible for other packages like gstreamer or python AFAIK.
