Installing a Gnome package will add the required Gnome base and libs, not the DE.
Exactly what I thought... I was wondering when someone else suggested that. Selecting a Gnome app will only drag along the dependencies.. not the whole DE.
Well, that's what I have always done, before patterns were invented :-)
I'm sitting here thinking.. what did I do before patterns.. I've had machines with both DEs installed before... the way I think used to do it was to use YaST, and the RPM Groups view... drill down until I found the Gnome group and select the packages... Anyway, moot point now that there's packages No one has yet answered the real questions here though... what is the kde4_pure package? Why does it conflict with Gnome if it has no contents? If it has no contents, why is it there? and.. why is there no One-Click for Gnome? There is no "new user" method of installing Gnome once they have KDE4 up and running. I don't know how to set up a One-Click (and it's not real high on my list of priorities since I only use Gnome on a test machine... it's not my preferred DE... that said, I do think there should be an easy method of installing Gnome).
