Stephen Donnelly's right. Had the same problem, found this page, and tasksel allowed me to install Gnome when I chose to install Ubuntu Desktop.

I've been using apt-get install several times, right down to attempting installing the gnome-keyring-manager package (which can't be installed). Tried aptitude as well, but I was doing that blindly. The solution was here all along - tasksel.

Suggestion for next update: get apt-get to recommend using tasksel if possible...

Thanks, Stephen!!!!
