Gnome Installation

I have spent a considerable number of hours setting up my suse 64bit system - it now does all that I want of it. I use KDE but would now like to try Gnome. I am aware that both can live on the same system but would appreciate some guidance as to how to go about it.

At which repo do I point Yast for Gnome?
What do I need to download?
Will all my apps that currently run on KDE (gwenview, gimp and amarok in particular) still work?
How do I choose between KDE and Gnome at start up?

Most of all if it all goes wrong is their an easy way out!!

Many thanks

All you need is the main repo. Go into Software Management and check off the Gnome Pattern to install. Once that is finished installing, log out and you will be able to choose what DE/WM you want to use from the Sessions menu.

Ok, did all that. Logged Out but no Gnome offered in sessions menu. Selected KDE and logged on - to a black screen - no cursor - no X - no keyboard working, not a thing. Complete re-boot the same, a totally unresponive black screen and no keyboard input. Knew it, mess with a working system and as sure as eggs is eggs - it WILL die!!

One and a half hours later, back up and running with KDE after a complete re-install. Will leave Gnome well alone from now on.
