When I install gnome I don't install gnome-desktop-environment. I enter that 
in aptitude and pick the items I want from there. gnome-power-management is 
recommended by gnome-screen-saver so when I install that I temporarily 
disable aptitude from automatically installing recommended packages.

Maybe the long way around but it gets me where I want to be.. :)
