Are you using yum, pirut, or gpk (gnome-packagekit) to add and
remove software, or some combination?
On one machine recently, I found at an early stage that pirut
showed KDE not installed at all; but I use Konqueror, K3B, and one or two
others often. So I told it to install it; I could swear all I did was
checkmark KDE and go through its list of options, as I've always done.
I have taken to rebooting fairly often when I do much adding &
removing, as a precaution -- if anything awful happens that will only
show up on a reboot, then I see it while I remember what I'd been doing.
It paid off heavily in this instance : I couldn't get to gnome!
I did get to pirut, and discovered that all of gnome had somehow
gotten unchecked.
I also made triple sure before closing pirut that both KDE and
Gnome were checked, and that I had switchdesk.
(Pirut is no longer the default for add/remove in F9; another
alternative is synaptic.)
