Don't use a tasksel desktop.

Install one of these metapackages for KDE:

kde-full/stable 5:142 amd64
  complete KDE Software Compilation for end users

kde-plasma-desktop/stable 5:142 amd64
  KDE Plasma Desktop and minimal set of applications

kde-standard/stable 5:142 amd64
  KDE Plasma Desktop and standard set of applications

Or xfce4 to get a working XFCE environment.

There doesn't seem to be a similar metapackage for GNOME, but
perhaps I just missed it.

Any of these should get you to a point where everything is
working.
