Errr, wasn't the real reason for the problem not having installed
properly? I mean sure, if you don't install gnome, you can install it
later, but I think allowing people to choose "Desktop" is easier than
trying to apt-get all the packages later.
If by choosing "Desktop" Debian would install gnome, I´d be very
frustrated, as I don´t use gnome. If Debian choose to install kde,
certainly other gnome users would be frustrated. If Debian,
democratically, decides to install both, and, to end the question for
good, a bunch of other *boxes, people would start whining Debian is
bloated. If Debian asks 'which one you want' during installation, people
would say its very hard to install Debian, a newbie can´t have all this
info...". If, finally, Debian leaves no graph. env. at all, people would
say "no DM, the Debian folks have gone crazy!..".
You can´t please all the people all the time.
