I guess what is not clear to me includes (and I did some googling while taking 
a break from yardwork):

   * does task-desktop provide some functionality that would not be installed 
if the user requested GNOME, KDE, ...?

   * does task-desktop provide some functionality that would work without one 
of the other listed DEs (GNOME, KDE, ...)?
   
   * and, for extra credit, what is the functionality that task-desktop 
provides that is not included with any of the DEs?
