Installing "GNOME Desktop" task
The GNOME Desktop task is what is installed by Debian-Installer's Desktop "task" (unless you picked another DesktopEnvironment !).
To install it, first make sure that tasksel and aptitude are installed:
apt-get install aptitude tasksel
Then, install the GNOME task:tasksel install gnome-desktop --new-install
(The option --new-install ensure we end-up with what DebianInstaller would have installed ).
Content
FYI,
The "GNOME Desktop" task is actually the sum of tasksel's common desktop (desktop) and tasksel's selected desktop (gnome-desktop) :
#tasksel -t install gnome-desktop aptitude -q --without-recommends -o APT::Install-Recommends=no -y install ~t^desktop$ ~t^gnome-desktop$

Configuration
Most configuration of the GNOME desktop is done via its various GUI utilities. The location of these varies depending on version, but common utilities include networking, themes, sounds and much more. It is also possible to configure (read/write) settings using the command line with gconftool(2) or gsettings (1).
