Use aptitude to install x-window-system-core, kcontrol, and gnome-control-center.
This brings in enough of X, KDE, and Gnome to run any app.
Then add a few more packages as desired.
In particular, konqueror and/or nautlus. Use aptitude and almost
all the rest of KDE and/or Gnome will come in sans games and crap.
Finally, install kdm or gdm with aptitude and the final bits will
come in.
