If you want not-too-much of gnome and kde, you can certainly build a desktop system in 3 GB. If you've got the space, a bigger partition will be better. I've just partitioned my new desktop box at 4 GB a time - several of these for multiple builds, plus a 10 GB area for benchmarking (could also build OOo in that if I wanted). Just remember to keep space for whatever you actually do on the laptop - putting /home on a separate partition is usually convenient, particularly if you're going to have a lot of photos or media files on it.
