Reference
If you want to make a minimal ubuntu desktop install a clean system from the minimal cd and add what you need manually.
If you add everything in this list you should have more or less a standard ubuntu system minus applications.
NB: There are other desktop and window managers that are much lighter. This guide will create a standard ubuntu system (gnome desktop).
If you really want to do it minimal / bit by bit you might want to use:
sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install
It will only install the really necessary packages.
Display Manager&Desktop
--------------------------------
sudo apt-get -y install xorg gdm gnome-core
Reboot and you have a basic desktop!

You can now start add utilities and applications.
