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).
