I want to ssh -X to a headless server and run graphic programs such as gnome-terminal, synaptic, etc. What packages do I need to install on the server (besides gnome-terminal, synaptic, etc.)?

Just install the app[s] you want and they will pull in all the dependencies. Why would you want to run gnome-terminal on the server? If you want multiple sessions in your ssh window then you can use screen or tmux. Tmux (which I use) can split horizontally and/or vertically in multiple panes. I use aptitude for managing packages on a server instead of synaptic.

+1 for tmux
It's a lot simpler than screen, but still does what's needed to work on a remote system with a lot of flexibility. It's very much worth looking at.
