I have got Ubuntu Desktop 16.04.1 and Ubuntu Server 16.04.1 with GUI installed via Tasksel. Are there any different packages or kernels between both versions? An application using Mono and Unity3d Engine bugs out on the server version, but not on the Desktop one.

False. My question was not about Tasksel. It was about differences between Desktop and Server. – Aug 07 '16 at 10:05

Did you install the GUI in Ubuntu Desktop through tasksel? BTW I'm happy that you solved your issue with the answer here :) – dadexix86 Aug 07 '16 at 10:06

Yes I have. But now I tried Installing Ubuntu-Desktop manually. I'm testing now. – Aug 07 '16 at 10:14

You can find an overview here. The kernels are similar. Package differences largely depend on the packages you selected for installation.
You could, e.g., run dpkg -l >list.txt on both machines and then compare the lists using, e.g., diff: diff list_a.txt list_b.txt. Output of the comparison might be more useful if you first sort both lists with sort.

AFAIK, for all currently supported releases of Ubuntu, the kernels are identical rather than merely similar, since
linux-image-serveris just a transitional package that (according toapt-cache show linux-image-server) "will always depend on linux-image-generic" – steeldriver Aug 07 '16 at 11:57
