this is the way i do it...

i use tasksel first
Base system
C++
JAVA
Perl
Kernel Build

i reboot and use aptitude from this point

first
i install
Xfree and related items
then Gnome selecting those items i need

my system has been up and running continuously fro several weeks except when i reboot do to certain updates that i think need a reboot...

In my case, after clean netinstallation I install x-window-system package and gnome packages
#apt-get install x-window-system
#apt-get install gnome
