Konqueror alone pull in 70M+ but I managed to have a based KDE(no game, no multi media, no Koffice) between 300-350M. In fact, there is mini-CD based KDE distro(using cloop). Even baseline GNOME 2.2 is possible but again very basic one(just browser, filer and a few things.) but I find KDE to be better in terms of features packed and I don't like anti-alias fonts in GNOME
