How are you filtering the packages in Yast? If you choose "Patterns" for
the filter, you will find a section for Graphical Environments, and the
Gnome DE patterns below that.

I have both Gnome and KDE4 installed, but not
'patterns-openSUSE-kde4_pure.' By the description, it is "installed if a
pattern is selected to have a working update path." The package contains
one file, '/usr/share/doc/packages/patterns-openSUSE/kde4_pure.txt.' I
don't know why Gnome wants to remove it, but KDE will run without it.
