Just perusing this thread I noticed you are using 64 MB RAM... if you are going to run a desktop system with the applications you mentioned above, I'd recommend bumping up your RAM.
To make this a more tangible thing to notice, run top once your GUI is up with the typical number of apps you would run concurrently... if you are using all of your RAM and eating into swap, your system could show some serious performance degradation.
