Yeah. Going from my mostly-minimal cloud install to Gnome Desktop took me
from 707MB to 3.2GB on disk. (And had to be done in two transactions because
there wasn't enough room in my 4GB disk for yum to both download and install
the package set.)

However, XFCE from the same minimal base goes to only 2.2GB, leaving a
little breathing room. Alternately, LXDE is only 1.9G total.

You could also eschew a modern desktop environment and go more minimal, just
installing a window manager plus applications you need.
