+To me a GNOME desktop is whatever www.gnome.org says is part of GNOME. I
+don't get task-gnome-minimal :P  (after previous discussions here I
+learned to ignore that and use task-gnome:)
+
+I know drakconf is a suggests, etc, just thought it would be a suggests
+elsewhere (another task-*, maybe *x11* something, etc). E.g.
+
+  task-kde4-minimal -> task-graphical
+  task-gnome-minimal -> task-graphical
+
+  task-graphical -> drakconf, etc
+
+Then you'd only have to add something like drakconf in one place. The
+task-graphical is a ugly though. It wouldn't make sense to install
+"task-graphical" (you'd only get drakconf and some other stuff).
+
+
+
+That said, I fully understand the "same experience as when choosing the
+desktop during installation". So let's stop the discussion :)
