11.3 Can not install Gnome after Install with KDE

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

I have installed openSUSE 11.3 on a couple of computers here at work, one 64bit one 32. I always install choosing KDE as the desktop and installed Gnome once the OS install is complete. Now when I go into YAST2 and select the gnome and I get the following.

pattern:gnome-11.3-22.1.i586 requires patterns-openSUSE-gnome, but ths requirement cannot be provided

uninstallable providers:patterns-openSUSE-gnome-11.3-22.1.i586[openSUSE_11.3_Oss]
Conflict Resolution:
deinstallation of patterns-openSUSE-kde4_pure-11.3.1.i586
do not install pattern:gnome-11.3-22.1.i586
break gnome by ignoring some of its dependencies

And the 64 version say the say but with x86_64 instead of i586. I have been on 11.3 for a month now and the systems are fully updated. I do not want to uninstall KDE and I do not want to break patterns. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

I do not want to uninstall KDE. We have a multi user environment, some like Gnome, some like KDE, some like XFCE, some windomaker.

Dude
Listen to me. I know what I’m doing.

kde pure is a package that basically holds out gnome packaging, principally compiz.
