sir, you probably had a bad day and mistakenly downloaded the lxde (for its smaller size)

as everyone suggested, use the gnome version instead which can be get from http://live.debian.net/archive/images/6.0.3/i386/iso-hybrid/

it the "debian-live-6.0.3-i386-gnome-desktop.iso" file and do make sure the MD5SUM is correct before burning it to a DVD (it's a 1.1 GB file)
