Using the netinstall CD, you choose what gets installed.  Did you
install the "gnome" package?

Actually, "gnome-desktop-environment" does NOT include Tomboy (or
mono), "gnome" however does.

Compare:

   apt-cache depends gnome-desktop-environment | grep tomboy

vs.

   apt-cache depends gnome | grep tomboy


So, if you don't want Tomboy/mono you can install
gnome-desktop-environment (or if you want even less, the gnome-session
package).

Good luck,
